A Head Full of Ideas that were Driving Me Insane....

Thank you:) That island is itself an amazing story. The base was a left-behind desk in our last house. Eleanor replaced its top with a roughly same-sized piece of formica, and we used it in that kitchen until we moved. Once we got here, she got the idea of replacing it with the larger surface from what had been a bowlegged work table from her parents' cellar. I see more conventional islands in more expensive kitchens all the time, and can't imagine any of them working as well, or imaginatively, as this one always has.
