Hello Kitchen Island


Meet our fabulous new kitchen island.  My parents have single-handedly tripled the counter space in our kitchen with one totally awesome Crate & Barrel Belmont White Kitchen Island.  For the first time ever, two people can work in the kitchen at the same time!  It's amazing.  And this island has two spacious drawers and a large roomy cabinet that holds tons of stuff.  Plus two towel bars.  It moves easily around the kitchen on casters so we can put it wherever we need it.  The counter itself has hinges so that we have more space when we need it and less when we don't.  Even the hardware blends with our current cabinet knobs! 


It's the finishing touch that our kitchen desperately needed.  We love it.   Yes we do sacrifice some floor space, but it really helps make our very small kitchen work so much better.

  2. This is the island I am considering, and I have a few questions if you don't mind! First, is it one large cabinet inside, or is there a divider? Also, how well has it held up? Are there any additional thoughts you have after these almost 6 years?

    Thank you so much!
