How can I change the cabinet space on my kitchen island to drawer space ? The 2 openings are 21" wide and 20 1/2" high and currently have cabinet doors.

Hi! I would just put shelves in and use baskets . It would be a lot easier and cheaper !
You can buy drawer hardware and make boxes for the drawers - the challenge will be finding or making drawer faces that go with the rest of your kitchen. If you're not handy - this would likely be something you'd need to hire out. :)
I'd agree with Pamela that it might be easier to just create storage within the space you have. You might want to try a pull out shelf in the cabinets you already have--that will give you the feel of drawers but won't require reconstructing anything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M5IwRrhsuI
Unless you have good carpentry skills and the tools for doing this job, I would call a cabinet maker. You can check this company for shelves.... they make lots of organizers.... https://www.amazon.com/Rev-Shelf-4WDB-15-Cabinet-Pull-Out/dp/B00H4QP030/ref=sr_1_25?gclid=Cj0KCQiAvJXxBRCeARIsAMSkAprk8ov7mSJEFQlJ2xiCcZuSzod7Pn64vlm9LqoH14SUeCNxHr9cuPIaAhuWEALw_wcB&hvadid=176981041117&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9033057&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t4&hvqmt=e&hvrand=8197416033860463858&hvtargid=aud-840076997981%3Akwd-6826790793&hydadcr=28104_9997753&keywords=drawers+for+cabinets&qid=1579542592&sr=8-25

I used heavy duty wire pull out baskets. They're made by Rev-A-Shelf. Amazon seems to have the best prices on them. I've also installed a pot and lid holder in a similar space to what you have. I love having extra organization!
Thanks for the link for Barker door. Great resource.
