Island Living
Who doesn't dream of islands? Kitchen islands that is! The heart of the home, where you gather together with family and friends, is the kitchen! A kitchen islands is perfect for getting that done. Here is where you can make your own personal touch on your Reality home!
Ask yourself what you would like to use the island for?
*do you bake?
*need extra storage?
*need extra seating?
When you get all these amenities, adding gas, plumbing, and electric may raise the total cost. In the end, a spot to gather your family may be worthwhile! Here are suggestions to think about:
Seating
This is a perfect area to add more space to seat your family and friends, which adds functionality to the space! Be sure and leave a 12 to 18 inch overhang for that!
Countertop Considerations
Use a material with high impact. This is a place you can customize and it doesn't need to break the bank! Think of using butcher block, quartz, or a piece of granite with artistic marbling to contrast from your other countertops.
Storage
Which extra deep drawers, you can store even more such as pots and large mixing bowls, definitely an advantage. Even for smaller kitchen gadgets, drawers are a great solution because they pull out for easy access instead of making you reach deep into the back of cabinetry to search for items. Have animals? Think of a feeding station! Or how about a bookcase on the end. For the wine lover, how about a wine fridge?
