Cool and Unique Kitchen Islands





Since my husband and I found our unique kitchen island (antique Danish drafting table), I've wondered how many other repurposed items are out there and being used as an island.  Here are some beautiful examples I've foound.





Egon and Richard’s unique kitchen island is a repurposed haberdashery cabinet, which was originally in a department store. ‘It was an eBay find, and amazing value,’ Egon reveals. ‘We had to get a cabinet-maker to cut it down as at first it was too large to comfortably fit in the kitchen. It’s great for storage, and it has a good work surface because we added toughened glass on the top,’ he explains.




Very rustic and country in style, this space from Living etc makes me think of a French country house. The repurposed shop counter is perfect for an island with storage:
