"This multi-layered island incorporates
a tile section, a butcher block section
and a granite section. There are
different surfaces for the different
types of activities happening on the
island: cooking, prepping and living.
The sink area is tile, which is a really
great surface for the wet area, and its
beautiful texture adds an interesting
element to the room. A pullout trash and
hammered copper sink finish the area."

"The butcher block area is a useful place
for chopping, making meals and
sandwiches, and everyday meal prep.
There's a pullout beneath that lets you
scrape refuse into a compost bin while
you're cutting veggies and such. Bowls
and cooking elements are stored here as
well.
"The granite section makes for a
nice spot to sit around. It's a durable
surface for the kids to do homework,
it's a dry area for prep and baking, and
the bookcase beneath allows for
decorative storage. Its lowered height
facilitates rolling out piecrusts and
chopping. The island is finished with
white beadboard, adding another
interesting texture to the design."
