Bracing Idea

So... Months and months of trying to figure out how to add support to our angled peninsula counter-top. Not a question of aesthetics, but of gravity. There was a distinct and potentially disastrous slant. Turns out the heavy Corian piece is supported by a 4" wide half wall of mostly drywall and caulking.

 

Loved the look of substantial wooden corbels, but slowly realized the extreme angle on the left side allowed no room for the corbel.

Finally, on Houzz I found a solution...

 

 

 

 

And, the right carpenter to make it happen. A perfectionist who was greatly troubled by all the out-of-plumb hindrances. But, 8+ hours later, we have...

 

 

Now, we get our Corian refinished and re-caulked. Then the painter will finish it with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, eggshell finish. Like this from Flickr...

 

 

 

Funny how much money a practical solution costs. I'd originally planned on changing out to a farmhouse sink, but real life intruded and I'm settling for keeping my much-hated white porcelain sink.

 

 

In another lifetime, I'd have the nerve for something like this (also Houzz).
