The island in the kitchen was inspired by an episode of "Fixer Upper". Before we even had house plans picked out, I saw that island and told Mr Peach that we were going to have one just like it in our new home.
Mr Peach and his grandfather built the cabinets and wood top for the island. Once it was installed in the house I stained the top and sealed it with Waterlox to protect the wood from my messy cooking. They did such a great job making my vision come to life. It is definitely one of my favorite spots in the house.
The light fixture over the island was purchased at Scott Antique Market before construction on the house ever even started. I saw it and fell in love with it and just hoped that it would all work out in the end.
I didn't know where it was going, but I was determined to have a sliding barn door in the house somewhere. We decided the pantry was the perfect place for one. The dark wood ties into the island top and adds some warmth to the space.
So much of my day is spent cooking and washing dishes, so I wasn't going to be conservative on a cooktop and sink. I have to say that I'm loving my farm sink and am looking forward to putting those double ovens to work for Baby Peach's upcoming first birthday party.
For us, the kitchen is the center of our home and I'm looking forward to all of the new memories we're going to make here.
