I second this! I've seen in a tiny home build, a island version where when its in place the wheels are tucked up under the unit and looks like a permanent structure.....but it was all made to be a seemless easy transition for the wheels to be accessible for moving.
Love Bob! Between his "no bad dogs" comment and "bringing back casseroles", he is such an addition to every video he is in! I definitely like the vertical placement of the island better than horizontal.
Maybe subconsciously, you were thinking about recent headline news regarding Ted Cruz's dog Snowflake (5 lb. Poodle) being left all alone in a dark freezing home in Texas while the family skeedattled to Cancun. 😥
Yep. Think about all the stuff that has come back around. My mom used to tell me if you held onto Something long enough, sooner or later it will come back into style. Ha ha.
I think vertical. Don’t forget to think about the circulation path. As you’re moving from the dining room through the kitchen down to the bathrooms. I would align the front of the island with the door to go down to the bathrooms. So when you walk up through the back door you get a straight shot through to the view. As an architecture student, always think about circulation. Also I think that sink needs to be centered on the window. Great vid as always.
No, don't center the sink under the window. They need as much counter space between the sink and the stove as they can find. As long as they can look out the window easily while standing at the sink, they will be happy.
I vote horizontal! I just imagine the kitchen being a gathering place. Especially for you two. Horizontal would allow you to add seating around the island and do any prep-work while talking directly with friends. It definitely cuts off the space a bit, but for good reason!
Bob is the best showing of humanity. "There are no bad dogs" I love that statement so much. He even sat and admired a guys drywall work. He is so pure and he loves hanging out with you guys. Honestly love seeing him on the videos. Makes me super happy to see how well you guys treat him, knowing he is living his best life.
So, I work at a camp and the summer I live in one of their buildings with a bunch of people. In that building, the kitchen has a 'floating island' if you will, that can be moved to serve the purpose of the event. Hope this helps!
That’s actually a really great idea. Put casters that can lick in place on the bottom and move it according to what you’re trying to do. When one person is at work needing a lot of counter space at hand, vertical. When several are in there cooking together, horizontal.
It only makes sense because it’s a small space and really it could go both ways but why make it a permanent thing especially with their personalities depending on the vibes just keep it mobile like they had with their lives so far
I think the counter should be horizontal with a big lip/ledge to sit at on counter chairs to eat breakie and snacks. In this position, the counter will not get in the way of the microwave and pantry.
Horizontal seems the best to me. It gives you a wide open kitchen and separates the kitchen from the dining room. If you have guests in the dining room, you can still work at the island and visit with them. If you have some kind of buffet/self-serve situation, the island right by the dining room would be convenient.
I’m studying to be an architect and the horizontal creates better in habitation as you can prepare food whilst also entertaining guests in the sitting room! With it vertical, your guests are to the side of you and horizontal deffo makes for a better living. You can also utilise the space as a breakfast bar or buffet bar!!
Definitely agree with the horizontal. It makes so much more sense. (You’re studying to be an architect, I’m a licensed architect! So I guess it’s good we agree)
Storytelling, video and editing have all migrated to a higher level. I like where you're headed. But a lot of that has to do with the fact that I like you(s).
I agree! If they aren’t going to have bar type seating on the outside (side closest to stairs) Bc that is a higher traffic area/walkway. But I do think this makes sense visually & layout wise too
Vertical! Most people are saying that you’re going to lose the view if you do it vertical, but your dining room table is right there! It will flow so much better over time!
Yeah we don’t actually lose the view at all vertically anyways because the whole front of the cabin will soon be floor to ceiling windows so any way you look you’ve got a view 💜
@@buffytune When it is vertical, they can still use it for a buffet. It will have better flow around it. Plus, it is easier to sit at the table and talk to someone in the kitchen without feeling so separated.
Vertical makes more sense in the space, especially sense you are lengthening the room. Someone mentioned keeping the walk way from the door/bathroom and up thru the kitchen/living room open and I agree. Team vertical...longer not wider. I love watching the transformation. Thanks for sharing it!
I would actually do an "L" shaped island... that way your kitchen space is defined, and you have more countertop space to prep on... you could also add an overhang and set some bar stools there and have extra seating...
Could it be a butcher block large island with open shelves and slight overhang for bar stools... But on locking wheels? why can’t it be a moveable island? It could give you the versatility to move it in different ways depending on your needs.
Horizontal all the way. Moved is gonna make the pantry a pain to use. And it's nice to be able to prep and talk to guests. It also make a great sideboard for the dining area.
Vertical! That way it goes with the flow with the downstairs door and the stair case. It gets very closed off when it's horizontal and gets in the way of the flow of movement with the door!
Horizontal - It makes the efficient triangle between your sink, prep space and pantry. If you put the island vertically it creates a barrier between where you will be prepping your food and your pantry.
@@cd2290 you’re right, it is. I mis-used it here to describe the efficiency of having unimpeded access to stored goods from the prep area of stove, fridge, sink.
The whole time I was like “man I wish they’d turn the island the other way!” And then you tried it and asked for a vote! Definitely vertical, horizontal disrupts the flow too much.
@@eamonandbec put wheels on it then you can change it with your mood or with whatever you are doing ie entertaining and need it vertical while cooking verses needing a bench closer to the table as a Servery for people to grab a buffet style meal
Team horizontal! People tend to naturally gather in the kitchen during a party and if you add seating on the other side of the island, it facilitates conversation and cooking at the same time. Also, as you're in the midst of the renovation, don't forget to add some kind of utility closet for a broom, vacuum, mop, etc. An outlet in the closet is also nice if you have the kind of vacuum that needs to be charged. It's super convenient to have this storage near the kitchen and living room. A natural place would be under the stairs but I also love the vision you have going. Best of luck with it all!
I am rewatcjing this episode today just to watch Bob - we need more Bob! And …. Also make an episode just on all the dogs you have had and where they went
Horizontal because then you can have bar stools up against the side so when you have friends over it's easier to 'hang' in the kitchen space!! Also, love Bob - when he laughed really loud at Eamon kicking that drywall it was so cute!!
For your kitchen layout I’d suggest trying both of them out for a few days and then decide because right now nothings nailed down so you can pick what flows and works the best for you.
Usually when you chop and cut things it is better to keep your eyes on the knives rather then on the view... you could always turn your head to see what is happening out of those windows... just a thought 💭.
Horizontal! Even though vertical looks beautiful, it seems to makes the area less functional. Your slide out pantry and refrigerator will be cutting it close to the island. There’s also an excess gap between the dining table and kitchen. With that lovely view out the window I think horizontal is the way to go! I love you guys so much! Can’t wait for the new merch 💕
I really like the suggestions about putting it on locking wheels. That could be a cool modern/industrial look. If you go with a more permanent placement, the only real problem I see with the 'vertical' placement is that it blocks off access to the future pantry. That would bug me over time. Then again, I have an allergy to galley kitchens, so. . .
I would definitely put locking wheels on the island so you can move it either way, both ways have too many pros to choose!!!! Also that new merch is so dope!!
I really don't know why you don't have millions of subscribers. Honestly, the editing etc, feels like this should be a TV show! Your videos and kara and nates videos are the highlights of my sunday.
My parents renovated their kitchen years ago and the whole design of the island was based solely on how they wanted everyone to congregate around it when they were entertaining. They have a big space so they were able to do sorta like a T shape where the horizontal part is where they do food prep and can still be social and then the vertical part is like bar-stool height so people can sit down and chat, nibble on cheese, sip on their sparkling, etc. It's actually one of the main gathering points in the house.
Love seeing Bob, "there is no such things as bad dogs" is so accurate. Great seeing your choices in home reno, lots of inspiration. Eamon and Bec, don't ever change...
Me and my wife say go Vertical! It definitely opens up your kitchen/living space way more and you can make the most of all that counter space when you’re cooking and prepping food. Also if you have guests sitting at the island and some in the living room area then you won’t be talking to their backs if it’s vertical :)
This episode was so good, I didn't want it to end. Glad to see Bob is back. Love Bob and his choice for island positioning. And the drywall taping/painting guy is a godsend! Keep up the good work.
I was screaming (internally, of course) for you guys to put the island vertical before you even brought it up in the video BUT once it was moved there, I actually preferred it horizontal. It defines the kitchen space a little better and allows you to look out what will be a wall of windows! But you could always put it on wheels!
First Horizontal looks great, plus when you'll have a view. Second Bob's hilarious, I had to call my sister about the casserole comment it was so funny (we grew up on those!)
I like the island horizontal you can put slightly into the kitchen and put an eating bar on the back. That way you’ll have a nice big workspace and extra seating. Also when it’s vertical it seems tight for the pull out you want to do under the stairs. Plus when you’re working at the island you can face your company who sitting in the dining/living room.
Exactly! Also you can see the water she said and I would personally love to be able to lean across it with my coffee in the mornings with a view of the lake, also dancing room, and it separates the dining area but doesn’t close off the entire room
I like the island better vertically, it makes the kitchen feel more open and makes it feel like a more defined space. It will probably also be better for food prep being right in front of the sink and oven. And finally it will make the pantry and coffee bar more accessible 😊 Edit: maybe you could even do a little bit of overhang on the counter and have some stools
Oh man, I love that overhead hammock-style netting you have in your house! We've also been remodelling a 100-year-old house ourselves for the past 5 years (off camera)... but you're moving waaaay faster than us! And now I NEED that netting setup...😅
I really thought I was going to love the island vertical, but I’m honestly vibing with horizontal more 🙈 you have the gorgeous view and you can add a little breakfast area with bar stools on the end of it! ALSO, I cannot wait for this new merch to come out!! 🙌🏻
I was leaning towards vertical until I read this comment. The streamlined flow would be nice, but horizontally if you have room to add an overhang on the counter and bar stools, then that would be nice! You might want the bar stools inside the kitchen so you can see the view and converse with guests sitting at the table.
Keep it horizontal. Think about when you’re prepping food and you have company over. You can still talk to them while cooking and their sitting at the dinning table.
I think it looks better horizontal, but it would probably be more practical vertical because you can just turn around to use the sink or the other counter. Depends on what is more important to you. By the way, those stained glass shirts look pretty sharp.
@@eamonandbec but put the weels far under it and then get magnets on the trim and on the island and then it will look built in but when u need to move it j pop the trim off and move it then put the trim back on with magnets
So nice to see that Mossa is good with other dogs! I hope this gets added to his adoption information and it helps him find his furever home soon! Thanks for fostering! Ps - I vote mobile island. Otherwise I’m torn. Horizontal gives you more space to be able to move but I can see how with the counter extension it might seem odd. Vertical, I wouldn’t go much deeper but I could see longer
Vertically is the best. Yay Bob's back. We miss Bob and his pack. Love the idea of the bean drawer under the stairs. Can't wait to see the finished kitchen it will be so cool.
Keep the island horizontal, the pull out shelves under the stairs would create a strong tension point and be tight otherwise. Also creates a natural feel for prepwork or serving space between the kitchen and dinning table, a lot more involved in guests.
I would say horizontal because it leaves the kitchen more open for multiple people to work around each other. The vertical kind of boxes things off and makes it harder to go around the other person.
OR Eamon and Bec might just be really AWESOME people who are willing to open their home to a furbaby who needs a home before he finds his forever home. Foster-parents are NEEDED and shouldn't be pressured to keep every animal they foster. You are not the only one making these comments. There are SO many!
@@eamonandbec A temporary home is such a kind-hearted thing to do for an animal, if you chose to keep him or not, you already did so much good by him. He's so cute, how come he hasn't been homed yet?
Discovered the chai, then bought the cookbook, now enjoy watching the house renos on Sunday mornings! Definitely horizontal with the island placement. Consider adding a counter top that overhangs on the water side for kitchen stools.
As soon as I saw Bob in the intro I knew it was going to be a good day! I vote for an island on wheels for more versatility! You two valentines are adorable!
I think that the island might be horitzontal. The reason is simple, when you are cooking and you need to take anything from the pantry, if the island is vertical you will have to go around it to get to the pantry, it's in the middle of the room and I think it's not practical to gave got something in the middle of your working space while cooking. Anyway, I'm sure you guys will do an amazing renovation of the kitchen.🥰
Agree. A friend bought a house with a kidney shaped island. It was the worst design ever. It was between the sink, oven & fridge. It got ripped within 6 months. There should be a nicef ree flowing triangle between those three kitchen essentials.

“Tiktoks bringing back casseroles?!” HA we love you Bob.
That line still has me laughing 😂 !! Bob is too funny!
@@eamonandbec between that and whatever food Eamon ate from the depths of the kitchen... it’s a foodie episode LOL
@@christyphucas HAHAH oh that's for sure 😭
I belly laughed. Thank you Bob. ❤️😂😭😂😁😘
Got to love Bob!
Put wheels on island, with locking castors, so you can move it accordingly. 😎
I second this! I've seen in a tiny home build, a island version where when its in place the wheels are tucked up under the unit and looks like a permanent structure.....but it was all made to be a seemless easy transition for the wheels to be accessible for moving.
My best friend has an island like this and loves it
I agree with this. Then you can even move it off to the side, and open up the whole floor space, for kitchen dancing parties 😎
Great idea!
This is a good idea. One way it can be useful for entertainment, another way it's useful for kitchen prep.
Omg Bob giggling while purposely filming nothing was the absolute best, 10/10 camera work
Haha he had me laughing right alongside him !!!
Love Bob! Between his "no bad dogs" comment and "bringing back casseroles", he is such an addition to every video he is in! I definitely like the vertical placement of the island better than horizontal.
“There’s no bad dogs, they’re all good dogs.” - why did this statement from Bob make me burst into tears! 🥺😭😅
Bob's dogs are grumpy and aggressive little things, aren't they!
Definitely warmed my heart!
I think you should put the island in the kitchen horizontal
Maybe subconsciously, you were thinking about recent headline news regarding Ted Cruz's dog Snowflake (5 lb. Poodle) being left all alone in a dark freezing home in Texas while the family skeedattled to Cancun. 😥
"Dogs. There's no bad dogs. They're all good dogs." Literally teared up at that comment. ❤❤
We totally agree with Bob!
Only bad owners ❤️ true statement
So true about dogs
Bob's the best!
I agree with Bob!
Hands down “vertical” makes more sense for the kitchen. All the best guys and good luck.
I agree
Vertical, but also freestanding (not attached) for flexibility so Bec can bust out more TAP DANCING in the kitchen, lol!
All day. The work flow and walking pathways around it make so much more sense.
@@echo-dolo They will have a direct path to the breakfast table/dinning room.
Bob is totally the main character whenever he appears in videos. LOVE HIM.
Oh 100%!!!
Put the island on wheels? Move it around all the time! Never decide!
Perfect
YES!
It would wear down the rest of the kitchen floor
Wow that's good idea 😁
You stole my idea
"Tiktoks bringin back casseroles?" Love Bob lololol
Agree, Bob is awesome and hilarious!
Bob is the BEST!! He & Eamon are hilarious!! Good guys!
Me being 65, that was great, spot on! The youngsters thinking they are coming up with innovative ways to cook.
I only watch the vlog for a glimpse of Bob. Lol. Joking. But honestly, I do love 💕 Bob. You gotta love Bob.
Yep. Think about all the stuff that has come back around. My mom used to tell me if you held onto Something long enough, sooner or later it will come back into style. Ha ha.
bob laughing at himself pointing the camera away from Eamon just made my day :)
Aha mine too 😭
@@eamonandbec I feel Bob is like the go big or go home type. If its gonna be bad lets go big and make it really bad. lol
The chuckle killed me
Bob just being Bob the entire video is a VIBE
I think vertical. Don’t forget to think about the circulation path. As you’re moving from the dining room through the kitchen down to the bathrooms. I would align the front of the island with the door to go down to the bathrooms. So when you walk up through the back door you get a straight shot through to the view. As an architecture student, always think about circulation. Also I think that sink needs to be centered on the window. Great vid as always.

Yees! Exactly!
Plus: if the island was vertical you wouldn't have space to do one of these lovely kitchen slow dances
Omg I love this idea too !! Either way I’d gonna be great for different reasons 🙌
Horizontal makes a nice square space. Vertical makes it into a corridor
“Vertical”/parallel with the other counters has a much more natural flow!
I agree. And it gives room for some extra seats too
Completely agree!

This is definitely the right answer. 👍🏻
That’s what I was thinking! Great idea
That is such a good idea! If they don’t need it wired in like with an outlet that would be a great idea!
I suggest maybe putting wheels with brakes lol then depending on how you feel for the day you can always move it around it’ll never be permanent!!!!!
I take back what I said, This is a GREAT idea!
Ohhh that’s a good idea
Best idea.
It only makes sense because it’s a small space and really it could go both ways but why make it a permanent thing especially with their personalities depending on the vibes just keep it mobile like they had with their lives so far
Yup scratch my note - totally this!!! If anyone can pull it off, it’s Eamon and Bec!
I think the counter should be horizontal with a big lip/ledge to sit at on counter chairs to eat breakie and snacks. In this position, the counter will not get in the way of the microwave and pantry.
"Tic Toc's bringing back casseroles!" I love Bob's sense of humor!!

Ooo I said vertical initially but you got a point! Horizontal is bette for sure.
Yes I agree with horizontal
Vertical island! Will give you more living space and when you have kids you’ll definitely need that!

Nah it makes it into a corridor - horizontal is a nice square space looking out to the water
Who doesn’t need more Bob?! The RUclips world loves Bob!! And yes, “vertical” is the way to go
Horizontal!!!
More Bob
Totally horizontal. Vertical and there will be no visual separation of the kitchen from the living area.
Vertical. You'll like all the prep space parallel to sink and stove. But ... depends on where frig goes.
Vertical! Most people are saying that you’re going to lose the view if you do it vertical, but your dining room table is right there! It will flow so much better over time!
Annnd the flow from that entry way that enters the kitchen.. I'm with you! Lol
Yeah we don’t actually lose the view at all vertically anyways because the whole front of the cabin will soon be floor to ceiling windows so any way you look you’ve got a view 💜
But you could use the island as a buffet style spot if it's there by the dining room.
@@buffytune I agree...that’s what I was thinking!,
@@buffytune When it is vertical, they can still use it for a buffet. It will have better flow around it. Plus, it is easier to sit at the table and talk to someone in the kitchen without feeling so separated.

"The only thing better than this.. Chaiwala Chai *smile*" Petition to feature Bob on all Chaiwala ads PLS !
Hahaha deal! He's quite expensive talent but I think he'll be worth the large invoice every month 😂
Definitely horizontal. It helps with the separation of space with an open concept. It also gives you open space in the kitchen for dancing! 😀
Could it be a butcher block large island with open shelves and slight overhang for bar stools... But on locking wheels? why can’t it be a moveable island? It could give you the versatility to move it in different ways depending on your needs.
Yep, why limit yourself to one option. Wheels are the way to go.
Great idea wheels!
Yup, if it’s not going to have plumbing or electrical, wheels for sure. Mine is on locking wheels and it’s a thumbs way up!
Yes wheels, then in nicer weather it could even be wheeled out to the sun room or deck for entertaining groups of people in the future.
YES! This is the idea right here!
Me checking to make sure Eamon didn't die from whatever it is he ate off the floor.....
He seems to be doing quite well! Not sure what that says about his stomach! 🤣
@@eamonandbec I say a little dirt is good for the microbiome. He deserves his 300 big ones.
Horizontal all the way. Moved is gonna make the pantry a pain to use. And it's nice to be able to prep and talk to guests. It also make a great sideboard for the dining area.
Bob losing his mind over Eamon’s kicks is such a wholesome vibe! Looove their dynamic ♥️
Hahah honestly seeing the two of them together makes my heart so so happy. They really are best friends 💜
Vertical! That way it goes with the flow with the downstairs door and the stair case. It gets very closed off when it's horizontal and gets in the way of the flow of movement with the door!
Have to do horizontal! that way when you have guest sitting at the table you can stand there and face them and they feel part of the conversation.
I love that Bob is back! A moveable island is my vote.
That's a great idea, slap some wheels on Dat bisnatch. Why choose when you can have both:)
Horizontal - It makes the efficient triangle between your sink, prep space and pantry. If you put the island vertically it creates a barrier between where you will be prepping your food and your pantry.
yes yes yes
I thought the efficiency triangle was range, sink, fridge??
@@cd2290 you’re right, it is. I mis-used it here to describe the efficiency of having unimpeded access to stored goods from the prep area of stove, fridge, sink.

@@eamonandbec put wheels on it then you can change it with your mood or with whatever you are doing ie entertaining and need it vertical while cooking verses needing a bench closer to the table as a Servery for people to grab a buffet style meal
Bob is a KEEPER! I can see where Eamon gets his sense of humor. Kitchen looks great!
Vertical 100%. More open, easier to use when cooking, easier to pass when entering on to another space in the house.
Vertical. Especially if you’re extending the other counters toward the left.
Exactly but I would move the island a bit closer to the stove so it's easier to walk to that outside door.
Team horizontal! People tend to naturally gather in the kitchen during a party and if you add seating on the other side of the island, it facilitates conversation and cooking at the same time.

Oh I love Bob, "there's no bad dogs, they're all good dogs". Horizontal all the way.
Island vertical makes the kitchen seem more open! Horizontal closes the room off :)
My vote for the counter is the way it was originally, what you were calling horizontal.
Vertical #TeamBob
Horizontal because then you can have bar stools up against the side so when you have friends over it's easier to 'hang' in the kitchen space!! Also, love Bob - when he laughed really loud at Eamon kicking that drywall it was so cute!!
For your kitchen layout I’d suggest trying both of them out for a few days and then decide because right now nothings nailed down so you can pick what flows and works the best for you.

Best comment. Of course they should do that. ;-)

Horizontal with 8' overhang for chairs AND on locking wheels.
make it 12 inches for your knees when you are eating
Horizontal, with view on the lake, would win it for me. It will allow you more space to move and work in the kitchen as a couple/family.
I really don't know why you don't have millions of subscribers. Honestly, the editing etc, feels like this should be a TV show! Your videos and kara and nates videos are the highlights of my sunday.

Love seeing Bob, "there is no such things as bad dogs" is so accurate. Great seeing your choices in home reno, lots of inspiration. Eamon and Bec, don't ever change...
We want more Bob!!!
Horizontal it great for interacting with everyone in the living area and that view😍
Me and my wife say go Vertical! It definitely opens up your kitchen/living space way more and you can make the most of all that counter space when you’re cooking and prepping food. Also if you have guests sitting at the island and some in the living room area then you won’t be talking to their backs if it’s vertical :)
This episode was so good, I didn't want it to end. Glad to see Bob is back. Love Bob and his choice for island positioning. And the drywall taping/painting guy is a godsend! Keep up the good work.
I was screaming (internally, of course) for you guys to put the island vertical before you even brought it up in the video BUT once it was moved there, I actually preferred it horizontal. It defines the kitchen space a little better and allows you to look out what will be a wall of windows! But you could always put it on wheels!
First Horizontal looks great, plus when you'll have a view. Second Bob's hilarious, I had to call my sister about the casserole comment it was so funny (we grew up on those!)
Bob getting so tickled at "TikTok bringing back casseroles?" was so pure, he's just the best! 🥰 My Sunday evening is now complete ❤ #teamvertical
Horizontal!! Because you can add bar stools in the "dinning room". The flow for guest is better Horizontal
I vote for horizontal. Especially if you are going to have the pull out cabinets under the stairs. Always love a Bob appearance 💕
Horizontal, perhaps have it on wheels, if that's a thing. Vertical seems to block the flow and space more. Keep up the great work
I like the island horizontal you can put slightly into the kitchen and put an eating bar on the back. That way you’ll have a nice big workspace and extra seating. Also when it’s vertical it seems tight for the pull out you want to do under the stairs. Plus when you’re working at the island you can face your company who sitting in the dining/living room.
Exactly! Also you can see the water she said and I would personally love to be able to lean across it with my coffee in the mornings with a view of the lake, also dancing room, and it separates the dining area but doesn’t close off the entire room
@@jenniferresch3417 I was thinking the same thing :-)
Yes this is my answer exactly!
I like the island better vertically, it makes the kitchen feel more open and makes it feel like a more defined space. It will probably also be better for food prep being right in front of the sink and oven. And finally it will make the pantry and coffee bar more accessible 😊
Edit: maybe you could even do a little bit of overhang on the counter and have some stools
More food prep space with the vertical island and maybe you wouldn't have to move the sink!
Don't think be enough room for overhang and seating if vertical without blocking route. 🤪
Oh man, I love that overhead hammock-style netting you have in your house! We've also been remodelling a 100-year-old house ourselves for the past 5 years (off camera)... but you're moving waaaay faster than us! And now I NEED that netting setup...😅
I really thought I was going to love the island vertical, but I’m honestly vibing with horizontal more 🙈 you have the gorgeous view and you can add a little breakfast area with bar stools on the end of it! ALSO, I cannot wait for this new merch to come out!! 🙌🏻
Ahhh such a tough decision... made even tougher by all of these comments and ideas hahah!
additional seating with a bar stools. solid idea!
My thoughts exacly 😮 I really didnt think So but horizontal❤️👍🐶
I was leaning towards vertical until I read this comment. The streamlined flow would be nice, but horizontally if you have room to add an overhang on the counter and bar stools, then that would be nice! You might want the bar stools inside the kitchen so you can see the view and converse with guests sitting at the table.
Agreed. I like it horizontally.
Keep it horizontal. Think about when you’re prepping food and you have company over. You can still talk to them while cooking and their sitting at the dinning table.
I think it looks better horizontal, but it would probably be more practical vertical because you can just turn around to use the sink or the other counter. Depends on what is more important to you. By the way, those stained glass shirts look pretty sharp.
@@belpack8989 Bob suggested it be movable, so maybe they’ll end up doing that
Vertical.... you can still talk to guests as there is no wall and it’s only 6 feet away.
Put it on wheels, that way you can move it to the side when you have a larger group over.
TASHA FOR THE WIN!!!!
This
@@colinandpaige haha 😉
@@eamonandbec but put the weels far under it and then get magnets on the trim and on the island and then it will look built in but when u need to move it j pop the trim off and move it then put the trim back on with magnets
The best idea so far. Good call😁
Please keep Mosa!💚🙏
Turn the island “vertical” but have enough overhang at the dining room end of it to put 3 or 4 bar stools under it👍🏻
I like this idea!
This is what I like too !!
I don’t know why there are so many recommending an island on wheels....it will just feel cheap and rickety. Please choose a mounted, stable island🙏🏻
Put locking wheels on the island so you can move it around, great for parties or if you fancy a change.
Loved seeing Bob, great fella. X
Carol 4 the win!!!!!
So nice to see that Mossa is good with other dogs! I hope this gets added to his adoption information and it helps him find his furever home soon! Thanks for fostering!
Ps - I vote mobile island. Otherwise I’m torn. Horizontal gives you more space to be able to move but I can see how with the counter extension it might seem odd. Vertical, I wouldn’t go much deeper but I could see longer
Yes, a movable island would be great as they could change it up when they get bored! I think I prefer horizontal if it's going to be fixed though.
Totes horizontal, like people can chill in the kitchen and talk to people in the dining room and have a little “bar” in the middle😋
I love the relationship he has with his dad love Bob.
Is bob eamon father?
Horizontal looks a lot better, it means there’s still walk space when the fridge is open and the bean can storage is open
Vertically is the best. Yay Bob's back. We miss Bob and his pack. Love the idea of the bean drawer under the stairs. Can't wait to see the finished kitchen it will be so cool.
Keep the island horizontal, the pull out shelves under the stairs would create a strong tension point and be tight otherwise. Also creates a natural feel for prepwork or serving space between the kitchen and dinning table, a lot more involved in guests.
I would say horizontal because it leaves the kitchen more open for multiple people to work around each other. The vertical kind of boxes things off and makes it harder to go around the other person.
Hands Down, absolutely “vertical”!!! It makes the best fit for your kitchen layout!
I believe that the “foster dog” has already found his forever home.
OR Eamon and Bec might just be really AWESOME people who are willing to open their home to a furbaby who needs a home before he finds his forever home. Foster-parents are NEEDED and shouldn't be pressured to keep every animal they foster. You are not the only one making these comments. There are SO many!
@@divekatdreaming 🙏🙏🙏
@@eamonandbec A temporary home is such a kind-hearted thing to do for an animal, if you chose to keep him or not, you already did so much good by him. He's so cute, how come he hasn't been homed yet?
Fostering is so important and something that is so greatly needed! Thanks to them for taking it on
I was thinking the same. He belongs in your home Eamon and Bec 💓🐶🦮
Bob is everything. When Eamon karate kicked the thing off i was cheesin so hard watching Bob laugh
Discovered the chai, then bought the cookbook, now enjoy watching the house renos on Sunday mornings!
Definitely horizontal with the island placement. Consider adding a counter top that overhangs on the water side for kitchen stools.
That dog is not going anywhere love his new foster home. Lucky dog!
so funny... I love when Bob visits (works) and when he laughs at his son, PRICELESS!!!
Horizontal or on wheels for sure!! Loving the pre-drop merch, moose and Bob
Horizontal!!
As soon as I saw Bob in the intro I knew it was going to be a good day! I vote for an island on wheels for more versatility! You two valentines are adorable!
I think that the island might be horitzontal. The reason is simple, when you are cooking and you need to take anything from the pantry, if the island is vertical you will have to go around it to get to the pantry, it's in the middle of the room and I think it's not practical to gave got something in the middle of your working space while cooking.
Anyway, I'm sure you guys will do an amazing renovation of the kitchen.🥰
Agree. A friend bought a house with a kidney shaped island. It was the worst design ever. It was between the sink, oven & fridge. It got ripped within 6 months. There should be a nicef ree flowing triangle between those three kitchen essentials.
Agree. Horizontal!
Ditto.
The wonderful laughter of Bob when EAMON 🥋 karate chops the drywall!
