We are looking into purchasing an island, but we are having debates about which side of the Atlantic would suit us best. I say west, but the hubs says east... dilemmas.
Just kidding, but we are going to buy a kitchen island. We are saving our pennies so we can have one that I designed for our space custom built. One day I will do a kitchen before and after post, but as I said before our goal was to update the kitchen for less than $1,000 - including buying a dishwasher. Now, this island is not included in that price, but the island will be the only piece that stays when we completely redo the kitchen in a couple of years.
I knew the look that I wanted was more of a furniture piece than an island -
I mean look at these pretties...

So, here is what I came up with...
For now, the island will have a wood top, but once more pennies are saved - a carrera marble top will be added. The island will be 7' long and 3' wide. I debated forever about the island being at table height or counter top height, but in the end I decided to go with counter top height. I also debated about having a shelf or two below, but with babies crawling around - that would be one more spot calling their name to destroy (and climb). Some of the drawers will include silverware dividers, and there will be a hidden outlet on the more private side of the island.

Have a great day!
