Visit your local stoneyard and shop the remnant section. You can find great pieces for pennies on the dollar. They will cut to fit for a small fee. Or you can title it too. Or use a stencil to paint a pretty design on it and seal with marine grade sealant.
I would paint it a color to coodinate it with the house

Along with the great ideas Naomie gave you, you could find nice decorative brackets that will be strong enough to hold anything.
Does your door open to the outside or to the inside? If it opens to the outside you could reverse it to an inside swing and make the window more open for moving the counter down to the appropriate window. For stone on the counter you would need to add legs for additional support as stone is very heavy, but tile or stencil is a great alternative.
Another idea: Add 2 Pillars underneath each end to create more of a distinct bar area. On the wall to the right of the window, hang a metal fixture of your choice that can withstand the elements and warm up the area. The below sun/moon is found on Etsy.
Love all these. Thanks!!
The door swings outward and I just had it redone, so it's probably got to stay going that direction for now.
Where do you suggest I look for pillars to make it more of a bar station?
Also, with stencils...do you have suggestions where to find them in good/sturdy quality, but also affordable?
I'm getting really excited about the space now! Thanks, all. The sun/moon is a perfect touch too.
It looks alike an add-on. I'd remove it or if it is needed, I'd cut it smaller to fit under just that half of the window. Do you really want to sit facing the house wall when eating?
