I really enjoy the penny tiles, they're like sparkly jewelry. I also like the 'vintage' touches. Those things create a lot of personality in what might otherwise be a rather neutral space. Well done!

Love the island, it's gorgeous!

Seconding the love for your kitchen "island"!
What a great thing to use, especially in a small kitchen!

I have been having trouble finding an island that would work for size and vintage style and I think your idea fixes my problem.
I really dislike modern islands, that are either cheap fake wood or just ugly (I hate granite) but have yet to find a vintage piece that would work.
With an attached cutting board and some casters so I can move it, I am not ashamed to say I am stealing your idea! Old buffets like that are all over the place and it is just so perfect!
Thanks!!!

Love the eating area and your other small vintage touches.

Thirding the love for the island! So cute and those buffets are CHEAP and easy to find on craigslist, I may need to steal the idea! :) However I don't dig the pot holder...too high?? not my house so no biggie, the rest is super cute!

Love the island. Did that myself for my rental. It turned out quiet charming. I really love how all the finishes go together.

Super! Love it!
