The front of an island is often an overlooked and under-designed feature in contemporary homes. Builders just don't have the time or the vision to pretty them up for the most part, which leaves homeowners with a great opportunity to personalize the space they spend the most time in. Since our island looks out on to our living room, I really wanted it to be not only attractive, but a feature in the Texas farmhouse style I wanted to create in this space. (Plus, I really hate that oak plywood.) Thankfully my husband is a carpenter, so this project was a breeze, but it's one I think just about anyone could pull off. We added bead-board paneling and some 1 by 4's and then painted it gray. (Weathervane by Clark & Kensington) It's a strong step in the right direction for toning down all that oak.
