This project lived in my head for a long time before it was actually realized. We busted a fabulous hole in the wall that divides the kitchen and the living room and I just couldn't bring myself to top the opening with just any old counter. I had a vision, a beautiful undulating slab of wood with a live edge that would provide a much needed extra counter for eating and serving and be narrow enough at one end to allow the front door to swing freely. Oh, and it needed to be affordable.
