Island/breakfast bar - how do I do it

[bob magnuson]

I have a island to do that has a raised breakfast bar on one side. I am having problems trying to figure out how to hide the 'joint' where the raised area meets the lower portion.

I am really stumped on this, I don't normally have a problem visualizing what I need to do but this has me dazed and confused.

I will attach a couple images, one a screen grab of the 3 main cabinets that make up the island and another screen grab from DeltaCad. I am using DeltaCad to try and help me visualize that is going on. The third image is of an island that has mock columns that I would like to incorporate into this island and use them as the means to hide the joint.

the raised portion of the island is 8" deep and follows the outside edge of the island.

if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.

Hey Bob,
Did you do that Island in the photo? I love that design. I like you have been strugling with an island design(my own home).
When you do it all day everyday you kinda get drained. I am doing an arts& crafts/mission style in my own home remodel. I will be stealing parts of that Island design for sure,thanks.........If you go to my web-site, there is a angled island similar to what your trying to do, with the similar columns. I just squared mine with the front of the bar and then ran one side longer to meet the angle, wasnt crazy about it, but couldnt come up with anything else to meet their next to nothing budget
