unreg should start a company like ZooBooks but each little magazine will detail the finer qualities of these kitchen islands

I'm thinking about writing a 1000-page treatise that begins as an extremely dry taxonomy of kitchen islands before devolving into ruminations about my personal philosophy and the dissolution of my marriage(s), all viewed through the lens of dining furniture scholarship. guaranteed National Book Award finalist imho.

(but I like Sufjan's idea too, especially if there are stickers and posters involved)

I've been looking at a lot of photos of celebrity kitchens and I feel like Ellen Degeneres is one of the few celebs who appreciates kitchen islands on a deep level. I'm gonna have to dig through the KI Forum archives and figure out which poster is secretly Ellen because she is obviously a part of the fandom whether or not she admits to it publicly.

designed by Iron Chef Michael Symon. one vlogger describes it as 'the kitchen island to end all kitchen islands' but I just don't have the patience to save it for last.

I feel like a lot of these are in an uncanny valley of interior design, where they're so close to being really nice that they're ugly.

Some are just nice though. I can't really find fault with 19, 21 and 22 for example.

it would be neat if someone made a kitchen island out of antique cigar boxes and filled the shelves with French rolling pins so it looked like they were giant cigars

^strongly disagree with this
― hippie lady from california who loves that god (unregistered), Saturday, 1 October 2016 18:18 (seven years ago) link
also feel like its ill conceived theres very little counter space in that whole kitchen
― lag∞n, Sunday, 9 October 2016 15:26 (seven years ago) link
def opposed to putting the sink or stove on island, poor use of real estate, and then in the case of that one the multiple levels reduce its utility even further
― lag∞n, Sunday, 9 October 2016 15:28 (seven years ago) link
#40 is the most mindblowing imoWHAT IS DOWN THAT LADDER
― Anacostia Aerodrome (El Tomboto), Sunday, 9 October 2016 15:30 (seven years ago) link
honestly the best island is prob just a big butcher block with stools on one side and cabinets underneath, maybe a trash hole and some power outlets tho im not even sure about those anything that breaks up the counter space makes the whole thing so much less useful
― lag∞n, Sunday, 9 October 2016 15:32 (seven years ago) link
21 is prob closest to ideal

sorry but if you think 'usefulness' and ease of food preparation are valid criteria for judging kitchen islands then what are you even doing in this thread? I guess you'd consider it an improvement if they gutted Versailles and refurnished it with IKEA readymades, smh
