Put wheels on island, with locking castors, so you can move it accordingly. 😎
I second this! I've seen in a tiny home build, a island version where when its in place the wheels are tucked up under the unit and looks like a permanent structure.....but it was all made to be a seemless easy transition for the wheels to be accessible for moving.
My best friend has an island like this and loves it
I agree with this. Then you can even move it off to the side, and open up the whole floor space, for kitchen dancing parties 😎
Great idea!
This is a good idea. One way it can be useful for entertainment, another way it's useful for kitchen prep.
Omg Bob giggling while purposely filming nothing was the absolute best, 10/10 camera work
Haha he had me laughing right alongside him !!!
Love Bob! Between his "no bad dogs" comment and "bringing back casseroles", he is such an addition to every video he is in! I definitely like the vertical placement of the island better than horizontal.
Bob is totally the main character whenever he appears in videos. LOVE HIM.
Oh 100%!!!
“Tiktoks bringing back casseroles?!” HA we love you Bob.
That line still has me laughing 😂 !! Bob is too funny!
@@eamonandbec between that and whatever food Eamon ate from the depths of the kitchen... it’s a foodie episode LOL
@@christyphucas HAHAH oh that's for sure 😭
I belly laughed. Thank you Bob. ❤️😂😭😂😁😘
Got to love Bob!
“There’s no bad dogs, they’re all good dogs.” - why did this statement from Bob make me burst into tears! 🥺😭😅
Bob's dogs are grumpy and aggressive little things, aren't they!
Definitely warmed my heart!
I think you should put the island in the kitchen horizontal
Maybe subconsciously, you were thinking about recent headline news regarding Ted Cruz's dog Snowflake (5 lb. Poodle) being left all alone in a dark freezing home in Texas while the family skeedattled to Cancun. 😥
Bob just being Bob the entire video is a VIBE
Me checking to make sure Eamon didn't die from whatever it is he ate off the floor.....
He seems to be doing quite well! Not sure what that says about his stomach! 🤣
@@eamonandbec I say a little dirt is good for the microbiome. He deserves his 300 big ones.
Put the island on wheels? Move it around all the time! Never decide!
Perfect
YES!
It would wear down the rest of the kitchen floor
Wow that's good idea 😁
You stole my idea
"Tiktoks bringin back casseroles?" Love Bob lololol
Agree, Bob is awesome and hilarious!
Bob is the BEST!! He & Eamon are hilarious!! Good guys!
Me being 65, that was great, spot on! The youngsters thinking they are coming up with innovative ways to cook.
I only watch the vlog for a glimpse of Bob. Lol. Joking. But honestly, I do love 💕 Bob. You gotta love Bob.
Yep. Think about all the stuff that has come back around. My mom used to tell me if you held onto Something long enough, sooner or later it will come back into style. Ha ha.
Bob is the best showing of humanity. "There are no bad dogs" I love that statement so much. He even sat and admired a guys drywall work. He is so pure and he loves hanging out with you guys. Honestly love seeing him on the videos. Makes me super happy to see how well you guys treat him, knowing he is living his best life.
😂😂😂 I’m sorry but the little scene with the phone number and deleting his ex wife’s number just killed me
"Dogs. There's no bad dogs. They're all good dogs." Literally teared up at that comment. ❤❤
We totally agree with Bob!
Only bad owners ❤️ true statement
So true about dogs
Bob's the best!
I agree with Bob!
bob laughing at himself pointing the camera away from Eamon just made my day :)
Aha mine too 😭
@@eamonandbec I feel Bob is like the go big or go home type. If its gonna be bad lets go big and make it really bad. lol
The chuckle killed me
Please keep Mosa!💚🙏
I really like the suggestions about putting it on locking wheels. That could be a cool modern/industrial look. If you go with a more permanent placement, the only real problem I see with the 'vertical' placement is that it blocks off access to the future pantry. That would bug me over time. Then again, I have an allergy to galley kitchens, so. . .
Hands down “vertical” makes more sense for the kitchen. All the best guys and good luck.
I agree
Vertical, but also freestanding (not attached) for flexibility so Bec can bust out more TAP DANCING in the kitchen, lol!
All day. The work flow and walking pathways around it make so much more sense.
@@echo-dolo They will have a direct path to the breakfast table/dinning room.
I love it when Bob appears in a episode he’s clearly the star ⭐️
Bob would make a good actor as James Bond in a new movie and become a famous Hollywood star.
I would actually do an "L" shaped island... that way your kitchen space is defined, and you have more countertop space to prep on... you could also add an overhang and set some bar stools there and have extra seating...
Kitchen is too small for good island. "L" off wall counter.
Have to do horizontal! that way when you have guest sitting at the table you can stand there and face them and they feel part of the conversation.
“There’s no bad dogs, they’re all good dogs” 🥺♥️ We love Bob!
He is a wise man!
Totally agree 🥰
I vote horizontal! I just imagine the kitchen being a gathering place. Especially for you two. Horizontal would allow you to add seating around the island and do any prep-work while talking directly with friends. It definitely cuts off the space a bit, but for good reason!
I agree!!! Horizontal makes the space easier for gathering!
Yees! Exactly!
Plus: if the island was vertical you wouldn't have space to do one of these lovely kitchen slow dances
Omg I love this idea too !! Either way I’d gonna be great for different reasons 🙌
Horizontal makes a nice square space. Vertical makes it into a corridor
Totes horizontal, like people can chill in the kitchen and talk to people in the dining room and have a little “bar” in the middle😋
Storytelling, video and editing have all migrated to a higher level. I like where you're headed. But a lot of that has to do with the fact that I like you(s).
You will reach, deservedly, one million subscriber status before you know it.
Awe thank you so so much!! Appreciate this very kind comment 🤗 and really appreciate having you along for our journey!
I suggest maybe putting wheels with brakes lol then depending on how you feel for the day you can always move it around it’ll never be permanent!!!!!
I take back what I said, This is a GREAT idea!
Ohhh that’s a good idea
Best idea.
It only makes sense because it’s a small space and really it could go both ways but why make it a permanent thing especially with their personalities depending on the vibes just keep it mobile like they had with their lives so far
Yup scratch my note - totally this!!! If anyone can pull it off, it’s Eamon and Bec!
“Vertical”/parallel with the other counters has a much more natural flow!
I agree. And it gives room for some extra seats too
Completely agree!
Best part, Bob saying "TikTok is bringing back casseroles?"
Imagine the bugs & rodents that touched that piece of very old candy you ate Eamon!!!! 😝😱
Love Bob each time he BLESSES your videos!!!
'NO bad dogs just uneducated owners' is really how the saying goes!! 🐶💖
I think vertical. Don’t forget to think about the circulation path. As you’re moving from the dining room through the kitchen down to the bathrooms. I would align the front of the island with the door to go down to the bathrooms. So when you walk up through the back door you get a straight shot through to the view. As an architecture student, always think about circulation. Also I think that sink needs to be centered on the window. Great vid as always.
No, don't center the sink under the window. They need as much counter space between the sink and the stove as they can find. As long as they can look out the window easily while standing at the sink, they will be happy.
I think the counter should be horizontal with a big lip/ledge to sit at on counter chairs to eat breakie and snacks. In this position, the counter will not get in the way of the microwave and pantry.
Horizontal because then you can have bar stools up against the side so when you have friends over it's easier to 'hang' in the kitchen space!! Also, love Bob - when he laughed really loud at Eamon kicking that drywall it was so cute!!
Def Horizontal!! 💕 and btw bob looks pretty Pretty spazztastic in the orange tyedye crew & hat.
Who doesn’t need more Bob?! The UA-cam world loves Bob!! And yes, “vertical” is the way to go
Horizontal!!!
More Bob
Totally horizontal. Vertical and there will be no visual separation of the kitchen from the living area.
Vertical. You'll like all the prep space parallel to sink and stove. But ... depends on where frig goes.
I’m studying to be an architect and the horizontal creates better in habitation as you can prepare food whilst also entertaining guests in the sitting room! With it vertical, your guests are to the side of you and horizontal deffo makes for a better living. You can also utilise the space as a breakfast bar or buffet bar!!
Definitely agree with the horizontal. It makes so much more sense. (You’re studying to be an architect, I’m a licensed architect! So I guess it’s good we agree)
I’m not a studying architect or a licensed one, but I concur.
Finishing my interior architecture master this year, horizontal is the answer! But I don't mind the version of adding wheels to it.
Ooo I said vertical initially but you got a point! Horizontal is bette for sure.
Yes I agree with horizontal
"Tic Toc's bringing back casseroles!" I love Bob's sense of humor!!
bob giggling when he had to hold the camera! That was the best moment of the vlog today. So funny.
"The only thing better than this.. Chaiwala Chai *smile*" Petition to feature Bob on all Chaiwala ads PLS !
Hahaha deal! He's quite expensive talent but I think he'll be worth the large invoice every month 😂
So, I work at a camp and the summer I live in one of their buildings with a bunch of people. In that building, the kitchen has a 'floating island' if you will, that can be moved to serve the purpose of the event. Hope this helps!
That’s actually a really great idea. Put casters that can lick in place on the bottom and move it according to what you’re trying to do. When one person is at work needing a lot of counter space at hand, vertical. When several are in there cooking together, horizontal.
Thats the best answer i have read 🥰
This is definitely the right answer. 👍🏻
That’s what I was thinking! Great idea
That is such a good idea! If they don’t need it wired in like with an outlet that would be a great idea!
Small dogs almost ever have this "don't look at me or I'm gonna kill you" vibe. Mossa is the most adorable giant baby and Bob's boys needs to accept the big baby in the group! Mossa needs the small big bros to protect him ♥️
Whenever I introduce my dogs to new dogs we always go on a very long pack walk. Everyone get some exercise and the dogs learn to work as a group. If they start acting crazy again boom another pack walk LOL.
Vertical makes more sense in the space, especially sense you are lengthening the room. Someone mentioned keeping the walk way from the door/bathroom and up thru the kitchen/living room open and I agree. Team vertical...longer not wider. I love watching the transformation. Thanks for sharing it!
Definitely horizontal. It helps with the separation of space with an open concept. It also gives you open space in the kitchen for dancing! 😀
I was screaming (internally, of course) for you guys to put the island vertical before you even brought it up in the video BUT once it was moved there, I actually preferred it horizontal. It defines the kitchen space a little better and allows you to look out what will be a wall of windows! But you could always put it on wheels!
My parents renovated their kitchen years ago and the whole design of the island was based solely on how they wanted everyone to congregate around it when they were entertaining. They have a big space so they were able to do sorta like a T shape where the horizontal part is where they do food prep and can still be social and then the vertical part is like bar-stool height so people can sit down and chat, nibble on cheese, sip on their sparkling, etc. It's actually one of the main gathering points in the house.
Vertical! Most people are saying that you’re going to lose the view if you do it vertical, but your dining room table is right there! It will flow so much better over time!
Annnd the flow from that entry way that enters the kitchen.. I'm with you! Lol
Yeah we don’t actually lose the view at all vertically anyways because the whole front of the cabin will soon be floor to ceiling windows so any way you look you’ve got a view 💜
But you could use the island as a buffet style spot if it's there by the dining room.
@@buffytune I agree...that’s what I was thinking!,
@@buffytune When it is vertical, they can still use it for a buffet. It will have better flow around it. Plus, it is easier to sit at the table and talk to someone in the kitchen without feeling so separated.
Put the island on wheels, you can move it wherever you want.
Bob is everything. When Eamon karate kicked the thing off i was cheesin so hard watching Bob laugh
Wheels, wheels, wheels,
just put your kitchen island on wheels and there will never be any problems...
at least not in the kitchen😘
Kisses from Hamburg Germany
I love that Bob is back! A moveable island is my vote.
That's a great idea, slap some wheels on Dat bisnatch. Why choose when you can have both:)
Horizontal seems the best to me. It gives you a wide open kitchen and separates the kitchen from the dining room. If you have guests in the dining room, you can still work at the island and visit with them. If you have some kind of buffet/self-serve situation, the island right by the dining room would be convenient.
Definitely agree
Agreed
Horizontal is best.
Horizontal or on wheels for sure!! Loving the pre-drop merch, moose and Bob
Love seeing Bob, "there is no such things as bad dogs" is so accurate. Great seeing your choices in home reno, lots of inspiration. Eamon and Bec, don't ever change...
We want more Bob!!!
Bob losing his mind over Eamon’s kicks is such a wholesome vibe! Looove their dynamic ♥️
Hahah honestly seeing the two of them together makes my heart so so happy. They really are best friends 💜
Could it be a butcher block large island with open shelves and slight overhang for bar stools... But on locking wheels? why can’t it be a moveable island? It could give you the versatility to move it in different ways depending on your needs.
Yep, why limit yourself to one option. Wheels are the way to go.
Great idea wheels!
Yup, if it’s not going to have plumbing or electrical, wheels for sure. Mine is on locking wheels and it’s a thumbs way up!
Yes wheels, then in nicer weather it could even be wheeled out to the sun room or deck for entertaining groups of people in the future.
YES! This is the idea right here!
My vote is for the island on wheels. Move it wherever works best in that moment depending on the company you have! 😄
I vote for horizontal. Especially if you are going to have the pull out cabinets under the stairs. Always love a Bob appearance 💕
My vote for the counter is the way it was originally, what you were calling horizontal.
Vertical #TeamBob
Oh I love Bob, "there's no bad dogs, they're all good dogs". Horizontal all the way.
The wonderful laughter of Bob when EAMON 🥋 karate chops the drywall!
~ MAMA TELLE❤️
Love to have bob back. The dogs are hysterical
Horizontal all the way. Moved is gonna make the pantry a pain to use. And it's nice to be able to prep and talk to guests. It also make a great sideboard for the dining area.
For your kitchen layout I’d suggest trying both of them out for a few days and then decide because right now nothings nailed down so you can pick what flows and works the best for you.
Vertical! Or do as suggested and put it on wheels!
Best comment. Of course they should do that. ;-)
Lol ‘ $300 I’m going shopping’ y’all are so funny!
Keep the island horizontal, the pull out shelves under the stairs would create a strong tension point and be tight otherwise. Also creates a natural feel for prepwork or serving space between the kitchen and dinning table, a lot more involved in guests.
I really don't know why you don't have millions of subscribers. Honestly, the editing etc, feels like this should be a TV show! Your videos and kara and nates videos are the highlights of my sunday.
Absolutely does! 😃

Horizontal - It makes the efficient triangle between your sink, prep space and pantry. If you put the island vertically it creates a barrier between where you will be prepping your food and your pantry.
yes yes yes
I thought the efficiency triangle was range, sink, fridge??
@@cd2290 you’re right, it is. I mis-used it here to describe the efficiency of having unimpeded access to stored goods from the prep area of stove, fridge, sink.
Put wheels on islands. I love more horizontal. Love you guys. I love your t-shirt,so beautiful. 💖
Looking, great guys!! Yes, always love seeing Bob in your videos; what a cool dad!
Horizontal with 8' overhang for chairs AND on locking wheels.
make it 12 inches for your knees when you are eating
Horizontal, with view on the lake, would win it for me. It will allow you more space to move and work in the kitchen as a couple/family.
The whole time I was like “man I wish they’d turn the island the other way!” And then you tried it and asked for a vote! Definitely vertical, horizontal disrupts the flow too much.
We’re really coming around to the vertical idea too Megan!! Thanks for the input 🙏
@@eamonandbec put wheels on it then you can change it with your mood or with whatever you are doing ie entertaining and need it vertical while cooking verses needing a bench closer to the table as a Servery for people to grab a buffet style meal
I am rewatcjing this episode today just to watch Bob - we need more Bob! And …. Also make an episode just on all the dogs you have had and where they went
An island on wheels would be sweet for you guys, esp. since you couldn’t make up your minds! Can always change based on how you’re feelin/what you’re doing.
Horizontal it great for interacting with everyone in the living area and that view😍
Vertical island makes the most sense and the best for the kitchen layout.
I agree! If they aren’t going to have bar type seating on the outside (side closest to stairs) Bc that is a higher traffic area/walkway. But I do think this makes sense visually & layout wise too
Nah it makes it into a corridor - horizontal is a nice square space looking out to the water
My heart!!! I cant believe you're getting rid of that couch. My little upholsterers heart can not take it! Furniture just isn't made like it used to be. Damn man.
Oh man, I love that overhead hammock-style netting you have in your house! We've also been remodelling a 100-year-old house ourselves for the past 5 years (off camera)... but you're moving waaaay faster than us! And now I NEED that netting setup...😅
Vertical 100%. More open, easier to use when cooking, easier to pass when entering on to another space in the house.
Vertical. Especially if you’re extending the other counters toward the left.
Exactly but I would move the island a bit closer to the stove so it's easier to walk to that outside door.
Loved seeing Bob again!
Going vertical with the island completes the functionality of the kitchen and aesthetic. If you guys like the horizontal, then you guys should do an L shaped peninsula joining the sink countertops. Sorry a bit random here...Are you guys 100% vegan and for how long? I was vegan for 5 years and had to stop or otherwise I would have had further health implications, in addition to having low energy, brain fog, and constant hunger. I realize everybody reacts differently but I am nearing 3 years now with a more balanced diet and have never felt this good, strong and healthy, reminding me of the energy I had as a kid. Anyways, I don't want to be divisive about it and I apologize if I sound judgemental but just really curious how you guys manage it so well. Loving this beautiful cabin of yours. Cheers.
I would definitely put locking wheels on the island so you can move it either way, both ways have too many pros to choose!!!! Also that new merch is so dope!!
Vertical! That way it goes with the flow with the downstairs door and the stair case. It gets very closed off when it's horizontal and gets in the way of the flow of movement with the door!
We LOVE BOB! 👍
you HAVE to keep the puppy! Gorgeous and lovely nature :)
Team horizontal! People tend to naturally gather in the kitchen during a party and if you add seating on the other side of the island, it facilitates conversation and cooking at the same time. Also, as you're in the midst of the renovation, don't forget to add some kind of utility closet for a broom, vacuum, mop, etc. An outlet in the closet is also nice if you have the kind of vacuum that needs to be charged. It's super convenient to have this storage near the kitchen and living room. A natural place would be under the stairs but I also love the vision you have going. Best of luck with it all!
Vertical island! Will give you more living space and when you have kids you’ll definitely need that!
I ❤️ Bob, but definitely horizontal. Trust Eamon's instincts on this.
I wish I could see a sketch of your entire floorplan. I wish I could be send you a thumbnail sketch so you know what I mean, but here's the skinny:
If I understand correctly, you're planning to extend your kitchen wall right up to to the window in your dining/living area. You'd be putting a pantry butted up to the right side of that window with a countertop peninsula extending out from it, for eating at perhaps.
Here's what I'd do:
Pull the kitchen back from window to leave a fair amount of wall space to the right of that window. This will give you more light in kitchen without a pantry blocking light from window on right side.
Kitchen is now smaller, but more cohesive with better flow. You can make up for lost storage and countertop in other ways.
Now that you've pushed your countertop back toward the kitchen, someone sipping chai at the countertop can lean against that lovely bit of wall to the right of window and enjoy incoming sunlight while chatting with Cook in the kitchen, who happens to be working on the other side of the counter.
So your peninsula countertop gets widened and replaces the horizontal island! You just have one wider peninsula countertop.
Your kitchen is simplified and more functional. You don't have that extra confusing bad-flow aisle space created by having a countertop in addition to and separated from your island by floorspace that won't add to flow of kitchen.
An island/peninsula should always be horizontal to your living space, so cook/s can look out at family and guests and communicate. It's better for family time as well as for parties. Horizontal gets an additional vote in your case, because whoever is working on island/peninsula can look out over the lake through your windows, monitor what's happening on the deck (if I understand your layout correctly).
I'm an interior designer. I've designed kitchens and baths professionally. I love kitchens so much, baths too! I'd be happy to go over any of this with you.
I love Bob's relationship with dog's. I hope the pups are all getting along better.
New disposition of the Island is the bestttttt facing the sink window and not losing space in the kitchen! 👐
I’d go with vertical, definitely gives the space more of a kitchen feel. 😊
We've left our "makeshift island" vertical for the past few days and I think we're coming around to this idea!
@@eamonandbec I think you should do what others have suggested and put wheels on it. Best of all worlds! Much love!
@@eamonandbec I would wait to decide until you've installed the pantry and lived with it for a few weeks. I like the look of vertical, BUT if I had to walk around the island every time I wanted to get something out of the pantry, and people couldn't walk past when I had the pantry open it would drive me mad. I think horizontal is more practical for a permanent design, but lockable castors would give you the best of both worlds.
Bob is the funniest, "tiktok bringing back casseroles" 😂 I like horizontal for the kitchen.
Horizontal 100% not only for the view but allows you to interact with people in the dining room 🧡🧡
Great to see Bob and the pups!! I vote for the horizontal position of the island.
I like the island better vertically, it makes the kitchen feel more open and makes it feel like a more defined space. It will probably also be better for food prep being right in front of the sink and oven. And finally it will make the pantry and coffee bar more accessible 😊
Edit: maybe you could even do a little bit of overhang on the counter and have some stools
More food prep space with the vertical island and maybe you wouldn't have to move the sink!
Don't think be enough room for overhang and seating if vertical without blocking route. 🤪
Horizontal for the kitchen island. you want to be able to look out at the water while working in the kitchen!!
You can still see the view vertically too!
Usually when you chop and cut things it is better to keep your eyes on the knives rather then on the view... you could always turn your head to see what is happening out of those windows... just a thought 💭.
Love Bob. More Bob. Bob's island layout. Put felt pads under it to slide it around. Add an overhang for stools. Nothing better than guests sitting at the island while dinner is in in the making.
I snort laughed when bob had the camera facing down, and the I found myself watching several times when he rolled his eyes... I Love Bob!!!
Me and my wife say go Vertical! It definitely opens up your kitchen/living space way more and you can make the most of all that counter space when you’re cooking and prepping food. Also if you have guests sitting at the island and some in the living room area then you won’t be talking to their backs if it’s vertical :)
Put it on wheels, that way you can move it to the side when you have a larger group over.
TASHA FOR THE WIN!!!!
This
@@colinandpaige haha 😉
@@eamonandbec but put the weels far under it and then get magnets on the trim and on the island and then it will look built in but when u need to move it j pop the trim off and move it then put the trim back on with magnets
The best idea so far. Good call😁
Firstly, Bob needs his own blog.
Secondly, if you have the island vertically it will cut off access to the larder under the stairs, so you’ll always have to go around the island to get to the larder and then cut off access to the side door. So if you put the island horizontally and take 12 to 18 inches off the side facing the kitchen outside wall, you’ll have a bit more space to walk through and the island will still be a useful addition to the kitchen. All the best from the UK, keep smiling.
love seeing Bob. Just love you two ,make me laugh, which we all need in theses times! love from Missouri.
Thanks so much! Laughing is so important these days!
