KITCHEN ISLAND By Matt Weber
Darin and Judy Epperson had a vision for their kitchen. Their home in Gulf Shores, Alabama, was to be remodeled with white cabinetry in the shaker style of construction. They also wanted a kitchen island to match but could not find one that offered the style, size, and amenities they envisioned. But that didn’t stop Darin from bringing his vision to life. COMBINING CABINETRY Rather than settle for a stock island that he didn’t love, Darin decided to expand on what was available. Home centers sell cabinet modules in stock sizes and trimmed in the same shaker style as the Epperson’s new cabinets. These modules are available in a variety of configurations; some with full-height doors, others with drawers and ball-bearing glides, and some with large pot-and-pan drawers, enabling all sorts of combinations. This provides a home-owner the opportunity to choose exactly the storage accessories they need to fit their lifestyle and cooking needs.
