Adding a cart at the end of your kitchen island is a great way to add storage, workspace and give your kitchen more wow power. Kitchen carts and islands vary in price depending on the size and quality but there ares so many to choose from and can be fashioned out of anything from an old cabinet to a bookcase with some wheels and a countertop.
If you have a smaller kitchen, stay away from decorative countertop edges; they are not only harder to clean but make your kitchen look smaller. There are 3 types of edge finishes you should look for.. more on the blog.
Change your faucet and you quickly upgrade your whole kitchen. Faucets outdate so changing your faucet can make a huge difference to how your kitchen looks.. even a tired country kitchen suddenly looks great with a new faucet.
The trend is a boxed look on your island finish.. to the floor - this gives a more finished look whether you are using laminate or wood.
Large countertop overhangs for your kitchen island are still hot. Not only as a serving area for more family socializing while you cook but as more workspace when you entertain.
This simple double eased edge is great for a small kitchen. It doesn't get in the way and is elegant.
Range hoods are getting bigger and sleeker. They are taking over as the kitchen centerpiece in many ways. Hope you enjoyed this passing parade of kitchen tops ideas and hope one or two of them make it into your home... or onto the blog to see more of them.
