Kitchen Counter Bar Stools, A Small Space Dining Solution

There are lots of space saving ways to make a small room seem larger and to find furniture that multitasks. What if, however, you could get a built-in fixture of the home to do two jobs and what if one of those jobs could replace several items of furniture? Would that be great or what? It can happen. All you need is the right sort of counter in your kitchen and a set of kitchen counter bar stools.

Eat-in kitchens are not new, but the idea of an eat-in replacing the dining room table and chairs is a bit of a leap for most of us. We have been raised in home with full dining rooms, and often with dining rooms and kitchen dinettes. Of course, we know you can eat every meal at the counter. They make the countertops that are designed for just that purpose. The question is are you willing to sacrifice a table and chairs for a spot across from the stove and some kitchen counter bar stools? If so, then you're among a growing number of people who are ready to break the old rules and learn to live in smaller spaces more efficiently.

Some equate downsizing with being planet-friendly. The fact you live in a smaller space does mean using less energy. Plus, if you downsize the amount of furniture you use, you are lowering the profitability of hewing down hardwood forests to create dining room furnishings. Still, it won't be the same at Thanksgiving dinner, and you won't be able to allow the counter to get all cluttered, and yet... maybe that is another good thing about eating in the kitchen.
