Island Style

The island is the new coffee table for the 21st century. Families are now congregating in the kitchen rather than the living room. Card playing, eating, drinking coffee, watching mom cook...the social forces are moving these activities into the kitchen. Kitchen TVs now are becoming more popular. Gone are the days of a separate dining area.  This only works for formal dining which is 2% of eating styles. Why dedicate 200 square feet just for 2% usage. Most families never formally dine...they go out!

Here is a style of an island I liked. Its flat for game playing, better congregation than the two teared island where everyone sits in the same direction. People can sit around this one:
