Kitchen Islands Brings the Allure of Wine Country to Your Home

November 20, 2014

Each piece is made from reclaimed wine barrels or re-purposed whiskey barrels. By reusing these finely crafted oak pieces, less waste is generated in local landfills. This is good for the environment and creates a community of sustainability. This also gives a second life to and old piece in a more than spectacular way! Nothing says class and style like old, reclaimed, handmade oak barrels.

Taking the Barrel Apart to Put the Island Together - The wooden staves that form the body of the barrel are used to make certain parts of the kitchen island. These parts add character to the overall piece. Notice the gentle curve of the center shelf, constructed from these wooden staves, offsets the stately form of the table itself. This is echoed in the bar stool, with the gentle concave face of the stool on top being contrasted with the solid structure of its box like foundation.

Furthermore, each piece is unique since the barrel color is specific to the type of wine that was made in it. This means that when you purchase our Russian River Kitchen Island you are going to get a piece that nobody else can ever have. The wood itself will be unique to your home. Elegant and somewhat rustic with a modern twist, this kitchen island will delight you for many years to come. There is ample space underneath to hold wine glasses and the gently curved tray is perfect for storing wine. Use the bottom shelf for storing other wine related items, or place a small topiary there to give a bit of contrast. The top of the table is waiting for your perfect glass of wine, along with a various assortment of cheeses and chocolates that will pair well with it.

Fantastic Finishes and Decorating Ideas - Some of these larger selections are sanded by hand to allow the wood grain to show through. This is important because there are many different types of color finishes. In fact, you can choose from one of 11 different types of color stain. This gives you a wide range of color ensuring that our Russian River Kitchen Island will integrate seamlessly into your already existing cabinetry and counter tops.

This piece will make any space look romantic with a couple of wine glasses and a nice lace doily placed on top. It evokes that sense of a French café table waiting for its romantic couple to gather for an afternoon rendezvous. Whatever your purpose, the sky is the limit. Showcase your unique style or your highbrow wine selection. The choice is yours. Nothing compliments your kitchen quite like this
