"This huge, 14- by 6-foot island
includes a sink, wine rack and
refrigerator at one end that serves as a
wet bar for entertaining. The rest is
just all surface with cabinet storage,
allowing for ample space for food prep
and multiple cooks, like when the
homeowner gets together with all of her
sisters to make Christmas cookies. With
seating for four, the homeowners, who
are empty nesters, eat 99 percent of
their meals there.
"The island's Crystal
cabinets are an alder wood. They
coordinate well with the India Mahogany
granite countertops and with the L-shape
perimeter's painted cabinetry, which
features brown highlights and
distressing. The alder wood was
continued elsewhere, in a back entry
bench and the home's entertainment
center and desk."
