Kitchen Islands with Beverage Coolers

The kitchen island has gone through several transformations since the simple butcher block table.  Many versions today include prep sinks, concealed cabinetry, and a raised bar for additional seating.  Designers also incorporate dishwashers, microwaves, and warming drawers in an island.
