D o you have a freestanding kitchen island? Prior to my kitchen remodel-rearranging I had a u-shaped kitchen with a breakfast bar. Now that we ve removed that bar and part of the u, I have space in the middle of the kitchen for an island!

But rather than having a built in island (at least for now, since we are try to keep this kitchen remodel budget under control) we are going to use a freestanding island we already had, perhaps with a little creative embellishing. It is fun to look at inspiration pictures to see how you could embellish a piece of furniture to suit your own needs in an island!
