Kitchen Island and Cart Ideas

Get Organized with a Kitchen Island

Having an organized kitchen is the number one item on most home owner’s To-Do list. But what if you don’t have a built-in island to store all your gadgets in? Maximize your unused space by utilizing a kitchen cart or stand-alone island that you can order with the click of a button. There are SO many options out there that run up and down the price spectrum. You’re guaranteed to find at least one that fits your style and budget.

My top three choices are: 

Pottery Barn’s 2-Tiered Rolling Kitchen Cart is perfect for a small kitchen or corner. On casters, it can be rolled anywhere and is great for storing mixing bowls, baskets of produce, or cookbooks.

The Edgar Reclaimed Wood Extendable Island at Target not only expands for extra kitchen seating, but has extra-large drawers and shelves to tuck away cooking gadgets or cutlery.

Ikea’s Vadholma kitchen island has been a top seller for good reason. It has minimalist lines, provides extra seating, and has deep shelves that fit an array of kitchen appliances, baskets of linens, or overflow pantry items. I’ve used this island in both kitchens and garages - it’s a winner!
