While flipping through old blog posts, I realized I hadn't featured a Lovely Kitchen in quite some time. So, I went digging through my saved images and found a group of pictures which I feel deserve a little admiring. The above images all feature one kitchen essential: The Island. Though these aren't your ordinary store bought islands. Instead, they appear to be repurposed worktables, the kind you might find in your grandfather's garage, holding up decades worth of well loved work tools and mason jars full of nails and screws. The best thing about a salvaged piece of furniture, such as a work table, is that is has earned it's well-loved dents and scratches, so you wont have to worry about treating it with extra care while rolling out a pizza dough or tenderizing a piece of meat. It's also a chic way to reuse an otherwise forgotten piece of furniture. A quick sand, a thorough wash, a bit of paint and in no time, that old work table can begin a new life: showing off your newest piece of kitchen equipment and collecting the beads of sweat dripping off your mason jar full of sweet tea, instead.
Do you have space for a repurposed kitchen island?
I love the idea, but I would never be able to find the space!
