Stylish update of traditional kitchen

The 2 cabinets in the front are the new kitchen island. The black cabinet has cookbook shelves, wine bottle storage, a pull-out waste bin on the other side, with a utensil drawer above. The black cabinet is fixed, but the stainless counter cabinet is free-standing and can be moved around. The butcher block counter is a countertop, and is not used as a cutting board Photography by: Steve Whitsitt
