Help Me Style My Kitchen Island

One of the problems we designers have is we’re so busy working on everyone else’s homes that we don’t have time to fix up our own. Now I’m working on Apartment Therapy’s Kitchen Cure. One of our assignments in week 2 was to do something special for our kitchens, like buy a painting, etc. Something that’s been on my list of things to do is to style the island in my kitchen.

I thought I’d open it up to my readers.¬† Think of it as a Design Dilemma in reverse. I’d like to keep the 24″ lazy susan and create a line of baskets to hold fruit, a cake plate with a cover for cookies, and other cooking things.

Do you have any ideas? Are there any products that you really love that you think would work here? By the way, that’s a candle on the lazy susan. It can go. And that’s a bottle of olive oil.

Can you help me out? I find that my readers have tons of great ideas and I’m open to any and all suggestions. To make it even more fun, let’s forget the budget. Price is no object (at least for now – gulp!). So let it rip!
