With the holidays just around the corner we thought it was the perfect time to showcase kitchen islands as the feature this week.  Kitchens are always a great place to gather in a home, and with all the food, friends, and family the holidays bring a kitchen island does wonders for all your entertaining needs.  Not only are they great for prep and display, but they provide additional seating when there may not be enough room around the table.  So join us as we take a look at some beautiful kitchen islands for your home.

Cumberland: This classic island design has a solid stained maple base with a gorgeous complimentary granite counter top that picks up the wood tones.  The built in sink adjacent to the cook top makes prepping food and washing dishes a breeze with all the spacious counter space.

Ellingsworth: This large scale, stained ash, L-shaped island is truly the star in this kitchen.  Perfect for entertaining, the attached bench seat around the kitchen table really creates the ideal setting for family gatherings.  The great flow and additional seating ensures no one is left out.  

Hartford: This less obtrusive island design is perfect for day-to-day life in the kitchen, without taking up too much square footage.  The painted bead board around the base keeps the look casual but interesting, while the granite counter top adds sophistication.

Hamptons: This island gives your kitchen a touch of traditional elegance with beautiful carved posts that add architectural detail to the island. The contrast of the dark granite counter on top of the creamy painted base bring an additional level of interest without being over powering.
