They look ...How wide are the drawers in the island? They look to be maybe 30-36"? I would dearly love to have so much space in my kitchen. One of these days, perhaps! When the time comes, I'd love to have drawers like that. My kitchen is so tiny. A mere 10x7— with only two sets of drawers (18" & 14" wide), and the only lower cabinets are under the sink and one lazy susan corner cabinet. I do have my drawers set up similarly, with baggies, foil, etc. in one bottom drawer (but no industrial sizes!), mixing bowls and glass measuring cups and colanders in another; one small drawer for what I call "things that cut” (scissors, garlic press, pizza cutter, rasp, etc.)--but knives are on the counter in a block due to the lack of drawer space! I also have a drawer for "cooking things" (measuring cups and spoons, whisks, spatulas, etc.), and a drawer for "serving things" and misc. And, of course, there is a drawer for silverware and one for linens. Anyway, my kitchen is so small, I have to have things on the counter--also have a pot rack over the sink. It's a constant struggle to keep things edited and neat. But I dream of one day having such a lovely kitchen as yours! I'm keeping pictures of yours in my idea file for my future kitchen! jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287412264660769301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844610358986715331.post-53369654983016307292016-05-10T17:57:27.992-05:002016-05-10T17:57:27.992-05:00Oh goodie!

However, that knife tray is fabulous!

It sure does take work for those of us who are not naturally organized but it feels so good to lighten our load so we can better enjoy what we have! Thanks for inspiring us to do that and for being a part of the book launch with me, you are a gem! xoMelissa @ The Inspired Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711494549892860307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844610358986715331.post-29640830755918604332016-05-02T10:22:16.423-05:002016-05-02T10:22:16.423-05:00Hello Emily, noticed that you changed out the kitc...Hello Emily, noticed that you changed out the kitchen table to a round/oval one?? if so, I am on the hunt for the same.
