Designing around an island
In a long kitchen, an island adds counter space and storage without blocking the work area along the walls, and gives family and guests a place to sit out of the cook's way. Cream shaker cabinets with crown molding bring a warmer tone than bright white and finish the cabinets to the ceiling. A glass-front cabinet and wine rack break up a long run of doors, and stainless appliances keep the look consistent from end to end.
Completed in August 2025 in Philadelphia.
