Spend Some Island Time This Summer
Now is the time for that new kitchen when there is no hurry to greet your Thanksgiving Day guests or entertain family for the Christmas or Hanukkah season. You and your builder/designer can take the necessary steps to ensure a perfect resolution for your new modernized kitchen. During the summer allows you to move the whole cooking and dining experience outside to allow for the inside disruption for your future kitchen. Even better spend some island time away and come back to your new modern island kitchen.
Kitchens are many times the centerpiece of a home and deserve your full attention as an organizer of all things social. Having an island kitchen seems to welcome people into the fray and really can be a useful way to present your unique room and impact spaces. Here are a few selections from some popular cabinetry brands sold in Houston stores. Ordering your new kitchen now is going to make your island time this summer and beyond even more special.
Oceanside by Wood-Mode
Back Painted metallic glass cabinetry creates a shimmering backdrop in both sunlight and moonlight for your open living space. An aquatint for the linear work islands blends and minimizes their impact on the view. Reclaimed Saxon wood in combination with ultra-thin porcelain creates a beautiful contrast.
Gramercy Park by Wood-Mode
As with the historic architecture surrounding the famous New York City park, this kitchen flexes elements from the beginning to the late 19th century and blends the modernizations of the 21st. Colors drawn from the Victorian Second empire in jade green and cream are set off by the rich quality of stained cabinetry. Furniture styled islands create the appearance of the Victorian period yet incorporate the neo-Classical canted leg.

VISION, by Snaidero
is the latest Snaidero-Pininfarina kitchen design collaboration was a 2018 GOOD DESIGN Award winner.
With a company history that dates back to 1930, Pininfarina has always drawn inspiration from the values of creativity and innovation, without forgetting the strength of tradition. Its designs have always combined the most futuristic and avant-garde stylistic forms with functionality-driven technical solutions. This design philosophy and manufacturing sensibility found a perfect match in Snaidero which has been Pininfarina’s exclusive kitchen design partner since 1990.
In the island/peninsula, the visible mark takes the form of a sculpted base in stratified and shaped solid ash wood – the product of advanced industrial technology and the skilled work of Snaidero’s craftsmen. The base also features an integrated silicone LED strip that further enhances its visual appeal.
The island incorporates a wooden shelf that mirrors the shape of the base, bringing a sense of lightness to the room.
