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.

  4. 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

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

  11. 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

  16. 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!
