Buying a home that needs a lot of updating. We plan on painting the kitchen cabinets white or cream and installing granite countertops, new sink, new light fixtures, new stove vent, etc. The floor is hickory hardwood. My dilemma is the island. Should I keep it? Or remove it? If I keep it I am thinking of topping it with a dark butcher block to match the floor. I am open to any suggestions to make this kitchen better, without breaking the bank.

Dashrath, On a lighter note, why do you call it a kitchen it should be called a stadium or something.its big you can obviously have a decent size island there. Thanks,. Nitin. CORNERSTONE DESIGNS, Bangalore

Pencil interiors, 12x14 is by no means a snall kitchen space. An island of decent size can be accommodated unless floor plan has some typical challenges . Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore
