Long ago in the area around present-day Andrews, there was talk of a hidden silver mine. The only person who knew where this silver mine was? An old Cherokee man named Sontechee.

Installing a Breakfast Bar: A Stylish, Functional Upgrade
A breakfast bar is a smart way to add seating, storage and style to your kitchen. It creates a casual space for meals, morning coffee or even working from home. Best of all, it can often be added without major renovation.
Start by deciding where your breakfast bar will go—attached to an island, peninsula or a half wall are popular options. Choose materials that complement your kitchen, like butcher block for warmth or quartz for a sleek look.
Depending on your layout and desired seating style, support the bar with base cabinets, brackets or a short wall.
Key things to consider…
Space: Allow for 24–30 inches of width per seat and 12–18 inches of overhang.
Height: Match counter height (36”) or bar height (42”) for your stools.
Support: Use strong brackets or cabinetry to hold up the countertop.
Lighting: Add pendant lights for both task lighting and ambiance.
A breakfast bar can be a great weekend project for handy homeowners or a quick upgrade with help from a contractor. Done right, it boosts both your kitchen’s function and appeal.
