... how would you kill yourself?
hahahaha. what a great way to start a discussion about kitchen islands. :[| fu manchu mustachioed man does not approve of my joke. he really likes celine. and "titanic" is his favorite movie.
but no, i need your opinion. you know my kitchen? well, if you don't — this is it:

but no, i need your opinion. you know my kitchen? well, if you don't — this is it:
clearly, i've unpacked some stuff. so it looks like someone lives there now.
what i need is a kitchen island. because i have no counter space.
but i'm trying to pick one. that's where YOU come in.
that cabinet/sink area is 32.5" long. i'm thinking my island should match about that size.
why? so it doesn't sit in front of the fridge as to where i can't open it. or in front of the bathroom (the door is just barely out of the left side of the picture.) as to where i can't go into it.
i also think it should be on wheels. so if it gets in the way i can move it.
i also think it should have a collapsable flap for dining at while seated on barstools.
i have a front-runner in mind, but i'm not going to tell you which one it is.
which one would you choose?

this one's from crate and barrel. they have a delivery service, which is nice. 44.25"w by 20.5"/30.5"d by 36.5"h $499 |

this one's from overstock.com. no delivery service, so i'd have to schlep it up the stairs myself. but it's on sale today. so i could always pull that $40 ups trick i did with the air conditioner. (where for just $40 a guy carried all 68 pounds of it from my nearest ups and up my stairs FOR me.)
43"w by 19"/28"d by 36.5"h
$215

this one's from safaviehome.com. there's a safavie home store in my neighborhood. i wonder if i bought it there if they deliver? 31.9"w by ?"/31.9"d by 32.7"h $395, including stools |
|
target.com this time. so same delivery conundrum. this one also has an unfinished top so i'd have to seal it with something, possibly mineral oil. 32"w by ?"/32"d by 36"h $249.99 |
| this one, from jcpenney.com is the most interesting looking one. it's actually a steam-trunk bar with flip out flaps on the sides. apparently, it's REALLY hard to put together. and it has the same delivery problems of some of the others. 30"/60"w by 19"d by 41"h $600 |
|
homedepot.com makes an appearance. which has the same delivery question as safavie home — since there's one in my neighborhood. cool trash bin function in the back. no flip out. 38"w by 20"d by 34"h $539 |
|
have you ever heard of ekitchenislands.com? me neither. but i like the trashcan cabinet. although there's no flip ledge. i'm assuming i'd have to figure out delivery. 35"w by 17.5"d by 35"h $229.95 |
| last one, from the same place as the above. it also doesn't have the flip out ledge for barstools. but it comes with that marble inset. 43"w by 17.71"w by 35.83"h $360.99 |
so, what say you? which one do YOU want to see in the background of all my cooking posts?
and, yes, you can find more on pinterest.
