Kitchen counter island

Why settle for a standard kitchen island when you could have one of these instead?

While large kitchen islands are a staple in houses, scaled-down, thoughtfully designed ones can boost the efficiency and ease the space crunch New Yorkers are feeling these days. And adding (or replacing) an island could even be a stand-alone upgrade to your existing kitchen should you have sufficient space but lack the budget—or the need—for a complete do-over.

Countertop dimensions, available workspace, and traffic flow all play a big part in getting the most out of your kitchen island.

Build your own DIY kitchen island to customize and save money on your remodel. Find the complete tutorial here by Domestic Blonde!

Like many of you, our kitchen is too small and we don't have enough counter space. The main weekly PITA is when the wife and I return with groceries. To avoid using plastic bags, we shop using a duffle bag and a backpack that we pack to the gills.
