I have been in a world of veneers lately helping with a kitchen project (not for my home). These are some of the veneer samples I have collected from New Age Veneers, a company I found through my friend Crystal. The veneer is for the island bench which will contrast nicely with the white cabinetry against the wall.

Stripey veneers are my favourites and the Antique Oak sample works best I think with the space and the paint colours being considered. Add to it a white benchtop, three Tolix stools under the bench and lighting above the island (right) and in the dining area (right).
Makes me wish I could redesign my kitchen.
