Hi Karen,

The desk was supported on both sides by built in drawers running underneath. You can see one side of this, in the photo.

I hope this was helpful,

Hannah

Are you saying that cooking next to the chute would gross you out even if its covered? Andd to use it for its intended purpose? In the first picture, it looks like the stove is directly underneath the chute, but I can see in other pics that it is not. I think it is far enough away. If everything is bagged properly, it shouldn't be that bad. You will have to check on local code regarding having the stove next to the window. Code may make your decision for you. People usually just put shorter cabinets above that type of range hood. I would recommend doing so because you need all the storage you can get. The hood--being different from the bank of cabinets--will provide relief to the eye. With cabinets above, it'll still feel balanced. And, as for covering the chute, do you want to cover it and restrict access or do you still need to use it for its intended purpose and just want to camouflage it? To help the room feel pleasant, cheery, and light, I recommend using a glass tile. Even though it's applied to a wall, the translucency still shows and evokes a sense of the adjectives above. I think it would help keep things light. Consider a slightly higher toe-kick underneath the lower cabinets. It helps to create a lighter-footed feeling. You could also consider cabinets that have furniture style feet. for a more open feeling. Your kitchen seems like an ideal room to use modern, lacquered cabinets. I don't know if you like the super-modern look, but I think it could be nice. Maybe just for the uppers. Use a medium-to-light toned wood on the bottom. A limestone floor might be nice. Or you can do wood or laminate. You could go with dark or light. I think it's mostly about preference.

Thank you all, for all the helpful pictures and advice. I think the long uninterrupted desk idea is the most suitable option for us at this moment. Thank you.

Hi George! The bookmarklet page has changed a little bit since this post was first started. 1. Visit http://www.houzz.com/buttonsAndBadges#houzzButtons and scroll down a little bit to find the "Save to Ideabook" Houzz Button. 2. Drag the "Save to Ideabook" to your Firefox Toolbar 3. Visit another site that you'd like to Save an image from and click the "Save to Ideabook" bookmarklet. If you're still running into problems installing the toolbar, could you contact support and let us know which version of Firefox and Operating System you're using? Hope this helps! -Jian

Hi. It's looking really good and you've done well with the bookshelves! ! I love the new sofa! I would say just a tad more yellow if your husband can bear it, doesn't have to be solid yellow. I'd add something else on the left shelves (I'd move one shelf of photos to the right hand shelving and swap for some books), maybe a ginger jar if you can get an old one. Maybe a patterned throw or cushion for your wooden chair and a small yellow throw for the bench just draped over the corner. Table idea sounds great. Are you happy with it? I think it's made such a big difference
