This open, spacious room is now the hub of the house. The dramatic central island is made from a reclaimed antique dresser fitted with cast-iron claw feet and a custom print Formica countertop created using a photo of petrified wood. Extra-deep drawers and plenty of cupboard space clear countertops of unwieldy appliances and help make family life more organized, while open shelving around the window shows off chic dinnerware. Reclaimed brick pulled from an old fireplace gives warehouse texture to the classic palette of white and dark woods. ciao! / oct / nov / two thousand fourteen 23
