The island - final product

Thursday, February 28, 2013

Well, my Jacquelyne Baskets arrived from Pottery Barn the other day prompting me to a complete re-organization of the kitchen.  The baskets have been installed on the island, containing items that would be OK for Bryan to pull down (tupperware, plastic wrap and foil, sippy cups and plastic bowls, and plates, wooden salad bowls, and lots of contained kids food and snacks).  Pots and pans have migrated to our large drawers next to the stove and the pantry is now more open and accessible.  It's so nice to have more storage space!  The baskets fit perfectly and finish out the look (and I think do a good job hiding the items inside).  Whaddayathink?

  6. The pendant on the RH side is from Arteriors. The one above the sink is from Restoration Hardware. As far as the custom island, I was able to get it made by one of my hardware manufacturers (I guess one benefit to being in the metal business). If you need help sourcing something like that though, email me and I can try to find someone - I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

  8. I think the counter is actually some sort of granite. I can find out for sure for you. I like it because it looks more like marble.
