{an island of your own}

consider your kitchen lucky if it has enough space for an island. if ours did, i am certain i would choose one of these beautiful farmhouse style work tables to take center stage.

this light weathered-wood is a nice contrast to glossy grey cabinets (still loving dove grey in the kitchen + white dishes)

or choose a rich caramel wood to compliment worldly glamour.

pair with industrial inspired stools & a kitchen can never have too many cooks. and i'll take my kitchen with a fireplace, please.

or take a french bistro style with a gleaming marble table top. pull up black bentwood cane chairs & sip cozy afternoon cafe au lait.
