Looks great. And two steps from the fridge to the island? No problem.

Yeah, our pantry is also close to the fridge, so groceries go on the island and are quickly loaded to each location.

Layout mostly done. Now picking a color scheme. Want to go with a light oak floor and black cabinets with white or light walls. Counter and backsplash still in questions, originally liked a wood counter with a green backsplash, but the designer recommended a taj royale counter with a wood tile backsplash. That looks really good according to ChatGPT.

Thanks. I am on the fence a bit about that empty space in the island. At first I thought it was strange, though I suppose the idea is you store bar stools underneath it. Which makes sense. Some islands have chairs or stools and they are constantly in the way. Also, it makes for space for people to sit across from each other as opposed to everyone in a row. So I think I like it, though I don't think I've seen one in person.

Are you going deep black or more of an espresso on the cabinets? 

If espresso, just FYI the Dunn-Edwards espresso macchiato is NOT even remotely close to a black. When our landlord painted our cabinets, we wanted espresso and that's what the contractor used for the first coat. It looked terrible and we had to make them switch to a real espresso color for the second and third coat.

Haven't totally decided yet but thanks for the tip!
