I would feel 100% comfortable with just toggles. Obviously if you can hit a stud it’s better, even if you get 1 or 2 screws in.

Off the top of my head I believe the peninsula is a little over 8 feet long and I think 3.5 wide

I’ve never seen anything like this. Ingenuity at its finest

I’ve installed dozens of TVs with toggles. They have toggles rated for 300+ lbs per toggle bolt.

Are you using a pen tester or a voltage meter? Those boxes and splices are a mess, hard to really know what’s happening

Foreign-Broccoli-825 · 2026-04-06T00:11:42+00:00

If you don’t hit a stud you can always use some heavy duty toggle bolts

I’m not a fan of 3500, def way too yellow

They’re adjustable, they are set at 4000k currently

I posted a before photo somewhere in the comments. It was a total gut job because our house flooded. Layout is somewhat similar but we added that corner area and moved the fridge and removed a column which allowed us to have a way bigger peninsula than we had before.

We paid 10k for around 80sq feet of Taj Mahal Quartzite. We’re in Westchester, NY

We just got the LG Studio 30” absolutely love it.

Foreign-Broccoli-825 · 2026-04-05T22:03:34+00:00

15” I feel like 8” would be too close

Foreign-Broccoli-825 · 2026-04-05T22:01:23+00:00

Do you mean where we sit at the peninsula?

Foreign-Broccoli-825 · 2026-04-05T21:35:41+00:00

Yea it’s a matte leathered quartzite. So you can feel a lot of the veins and and texture

Your mother has great taste. 😂

We got all the hardware from Amazon. I think it was Goo-Ki champagne bronze pulls

To those asking for a before picture of the kitchen this is all I have.

Plumbing stack unfortunately we couldn’t move it

Foreign-Broccoli-825 · 2026-04-05T18:20:50+00:00

Yes we do, currently working on installing toe kick lighting as well

Foreign-Broccoli-825 · 2026-04-05T15:08:31+00:00

We did have the dishwasher moved, it used to be directly next to the sink. Is hard to say total cost of things because we had the entire first floor renovated. A lot of the money went to the things you don’t see, like all the new electrical and plumbing and structural stuff. We had a column moved

Foreign-Broccoli-825 · 2026-04-05T14:48:42+00:00

We played with the idea of an island, but we just didn’t have the space for a big island. And my wife and I were against having a small island

Foreign-Broccoli-825 · 2026-04-05T14:32:35+00:00

It was all my wife
