After browsing Houzz and other sites for weeks, O’brien sent Ho an image of a dining table built off a kitchen peninsula. It was a nice idea, but it didn’t allow for everything he wanted, particularly an open space for large gatherings.

Then, Ho says, “the discussion quickly turned to ‘What if we make a table that connected to the peninsula that can be used as either a dining table or a buffet?’” After several sketches and visits to the hardware store, he and O’brien came up with the idea of using a track and sliding hardware to attach a table to the peninsula.

Here, the table sits in a position for dining.
