Island Life







There are so many beautiful designs available for kitchen islands. From wonderful old butcher's blocks to marble-covered masterpieces, the island has become an essential design part of every kitchen.

    I am very much in dream-mode for our next house, and this post is really inspiring for me! I can't even choose a favorite. Okay, well maybe the first photo and that gorgeous sink in the last photo. Sigh. xo

    Gorgeous options. And I especially like them when they look like furniture well placed in a room.

    I love kitchen islands. They say "welcome" when you enter a kitchen to me.

    I love that first picture. It looks like a piece of furniture...I love the stain and the countertop on it. Great collection of pictures!

    All the rooms are so light and airy, I love that. All of them look beautiful, it would be hard to just choose one but if I had to I'd go for 6

    Oh I like the built-in sideboard in the second last picture. I'd like that in my kitchen ~ the island bench is huge, love it.

    A lovely collection here Leigh. I think they open up a kitchen & say 'Welcome, come on in & get comfortable'. Fitted benches almost have the opposite effect!
