Martha's kitchens are usually pretty darn amazing So I loosely and I mean really loosely tried a few things "Martha" in my new kitchen One must have item for me, was/is a movable kitchen island I love how these work as both a gathering place, a spot to work on your laptop or an extra area for food prep Having this island on wheels was a big factor for me because my kitchen is pretty small and I need to be able to push it out of the way when not in use or when I need extra space for more cooks in the kitchen I looked at a bunch of premade kitchen carts and islands but kept coming back to the islands by the John Boos Company John Boos is a company that specializes superior quality butcher block and hard rock maple products Most of the islands retail for around $1000 to $1500 depending on size and options....and almost all include the option for casters or wheels I just kept going back to Martha's grey kitchen and looking at all of the details she Incorporated and figured I might be better off having my cabinet maker make it for me to my specifications....and I wanted it to be grey the big island to the left in the photo above is the movable island she calls her servery She used lots of drawers in hers and I was able to get 4 in mine I wanted one for knives one for spices one for parchment paper and one for pot holders and towels This is another cart in Martha's kitchen which is really great...a big metal utility cart for her cooking utensils that she can roll around the room to her various cooking stations and of course a few nice shelves I love how she painted the wood storage trays the same color as the servery She has some really nice vintage items as well...including this tea station a vintage porcelain scrubby holder....gotta look for one of those! and a big huge stash of bar mops...love those too! So here is my version...quite a bit smaller but I got most of what I wanted out of a cart that measures 30 by 60 inches knife storage spice storage pot holders and parchment paper we put the island on nice grey rubber wheels I topped it with Carrera marble and added a slatted shelf on the bottom I think I may add another shelf because I can use the extra storage...but I wanted to keep it really simple to begin with and it's much easier to add to a item than to start dismantling These are some fun vintage silverware drawer pulls I found on Etsy...and some fork hooks for towels so there you have it...my Martha knock off do you think she will mind? ; 0 )
