Tiny Island
The proprietor of this Florida cottage created space in her kitchen to get a console-turned-island.
Steely White
Stainless steel countertops bring a sign of industrial glow into the kitchen of this Kansas home. Furnished with Pottery Barn stools a place to sit while prepping food is provided by the island.
Upcycled Desk
The homeowner of this revived country kitchen stumbled upon that early-1900s green desk -- $350 at an antiques shop -- and watched an chance for a one time workstation. She improvised a shelf with propping wood planks, to create the piece more functional.
Extra Storage
What's hiding from the island? Just a little bit of everything! This older workbench houses drygoods, office supplies, as well as assorted wrapping papers.
Pecky Cypress
Seen here on the hood and island, pecky cypress is a type of wood that has a grainy feel thanks for extended, narrow burrows or cavities.
Color-Blocked Accents
Zippy bursts of strong colors, like the row of candy-hued stools in the kitchen island, are vibrant without overpowering the kitchen of the Minnesota lake cottage. "Using bigger chunks of color versus small, complicated patterns creates a bolder state-ment that's also easier on the eye," says interior designer Michelle Fries, who helped plan the space.
