Bold mid-century modern kitchen island with storage space

We are constantly looking for various ways to save some space, especially in such functional spaces as kitchens. Open shelving, various cabinets and pull-out drawers help with that, and kitchen islands with storage spaces are another great idea.

We’ve found a perfect option for those of you who are looking for a storage kitchen island. While not everyone has the space or need for a large, built-in one in their kitchen, the extra storage and prep space is always a great addition.

The Riff Raff Kitchen Island, by Central Pennsylvania design studio Wake the Tree Furniture Co., gives us what we need! It is a beautifully handmade piece with a mid-century modern feel.

Crafted from locally-sourced black walnut and brightly powder-coated metal pegboards on both sides to hide all of your riff raff. Store cookbooks, pots and pans, spices, you name it, on the inside, on the shelf below, or shelves on the side. The pegboards allow for metal hooks to slip through to hang your utensils.

Each piece is made to order and can be completely customized to your specifications. Variation in paint colors and wood species, and even dimension changes are welcome.
