Island Time

 When we were ready to renovate our kitchen,

I had to come up with an idea for the island.

Rather than have something custom made,

I wanted to find an antique piece 

of furniture that would work.

But I couldn't.

I looked for almost a year, 

and finally found this reproduction

English hunt board during a trip to North Carolina.

There were two tan marble slabs built into the top,

but I replaced them with carrera marble slabs.

It's almost ten feet long, and about 30" wide. 

The open bottom gave us lots of room for storage 

and displaying antiques. 
I like the way the light passes through... 

keeps the room feeling much more open 

than a solid piece would have.

Chunky French milled cold pressed soaps from my friend and antique dealer, Lisa. Click here.

My Grandmother had Planter's peanut jars that she used as canisters. These are not hers but remind me of her.

View from the back.... paper towels stored in a crock, dog treats in the lidded crock, and extra cat and dog food in the baskets.

Swedish olive oil soaps in vintage bowls. Scallop-edged nesting bowls, also from Lisa!

Little collection of antique mortar and pestle bowls.

Little bitty one for herbs and salt grinding.

I skirted the bar stools to hide the chew marks from when our black lab was a puppy. Bad puppy!

 

Stirrups make great napkin holders.

 Do you have a piece of furniture 

that you use as your island?
