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
