Ivy Hollow - gate
I made a gate from scrap wood and Tiny Turnings, making it up as I went along.
I thought the spindles probably could have been closer together, but it turned out well so I went with it.
The stain is Minwax Dark Walnut. I used brass Houseworks hinges to make it operational.
Right now, I have it propped in place with wax. Once I have the final layout, I'll add a stop on the side of the counter to keep the gate from swinging too far.
In the end, I like that the spindles are sparse - allows more to be seen through it. :]

What a fabulous gate - just what you need to stop unwanted visitors behind the counter.

Plus the spindles, for the scale, are thick enough that to have too many would look overdone.
Hinges! Oh dear, my sympathies.
But it looks wonderful!

Thank you! 
Hinges don't bother me much anymore - I still swear while installing them, but they don't bother me.
