Happy 2015! So far, the year is off to a cold start here in Ontario. But at least we’re gaining a minute of sunlight every day, so that’s one positive :-)
January is typically when the blues set in. But the blues aren’t necessarily a bad thing – especially when they’re lovely navy blues! Lately I’ve been thinking about how I would design my coastal kitchen in my oceanfront house of the future. A girl can dream, right? :-) And part of the dream is to have a navy blue kitchen island. Still haven’t figured out the rest of the kitchen, but I guess that’s as good a starting point as any!
A navy island with a light stone countertop, white kitchen cabinetry, and dark flooring seems to be the popular choice.

A navy island with a light floor and soft grey cabinetry is lovely too.

Not quite navy blue, this blue-grey island has a dark wood countertop, which is a nice change from the light stone countertops.

And this countertop is a combination of darker wood and lighter stone.

Do you prefer a kitchen island that matches the kitchen cabinetry, or an island that stands out?
