In a small house that will have an L shaped kitchen would you rather have an Island with seating or a table in the same spot with seating?

If you really mean a small house, I'd probably go with the table, if for no other reason than it could be shifted around or taken out of the way from time to time.

Smaller. It will be about 1100 sq ft so not tiny but not really room for both without being cluttered.

Sorry - I'd need to see a photo of the space, or ideally a floorplan with measurements, before I could answer this question.

Will the island provide extra storage and prep space? Make that a consideration.

Hmm...I'll see if I can draw it out by tomorrow. We haven't finished building yet. Just up to shingles on the roof. The inside is open right now.

That is a good point.

This a a quickie drawing. The area is actually 26 x 18 and the living room is on the right kitchen on the left. I have it drawn out as a 12 x 12 kitchen which can be changed to make it larger or smaller by a few feet or so. My sink and DW will be on the back wall with the window. The stove and refrigerator will be on the left wall.

I prefer an Island but I was wondering what others thought. Thanks.

I would say island but big enough to get seating along at least 2 sides.
