I wanted to post a couple of pics of what our island will hopefully look like soon after our floors are down and some of the design inspiration that my friend Lisa gave us to create a new more updated look in our space. Hopefully looking at some of these will keep thoughts of where we'll be in the next few months inspiring me while we have no floors and a bit of a mess in our house right now.
The new island that Rick designed will still leave us with a nice workspace overlooking our family room but will allow for 4 seats (mine, Rick's, Ryan and BB2) and the end is a bookshelf for all my cookbooks. Its also going to be a worn black to give a bit of a contrast to our new floors. The 2nd pic shows what the counter will look like sitting on the new base. So in the end we'll have almost 8 feet of island space for cooking, eating, drawing, homework, hosting friends/family, and all around life and I can't wait because as I've mentioned I love a kitchen/family room where you can really live on a day to day basis. We spend 95% of our time in this space!
The pic on the right is of the mood board that my friend created for us. If you've ever been to our house or checked out some of the other pics our house right now is a bit country and now we are trying to make it feel more fresh, modern and contemporary but still warm so all of our furnishings will be pretty neutral and we'll bring in some fun fabrics in drapes, pillows and accessories. We're also adding a cool desk of some sort on one wall where my trusty MacBook will sit so that the boys and us can do homework, play games, or just surf the net. Above the desk will be some shelves to keep some fun knick knacks and maybe some our original artwork by our resident artist Ryan Beley.
