And I love the baskets...<br /><br />check out her island here...<br />http://ecofootprintsa.blogspot.com/2010/05/kitchen-progress.html<br /><br />Thanks everyone for the feedback. I know Gman would love stainless steel, he is a welder after all.<br /><br />Andy I have seen conrete tops and do love the look of them.<br /><br />And yes putting it on wheels is an awesome idea! Will do!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15423880021791681592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539457256761038560.post-61851975288103792312010-11-02T03:18:41.046-07:002010-11-02T03:18:41.046-07:00When I did our kitchen, I went with stainless stee...When I did our kitchen, I went with stainless steel. Everyone thought I was crazy. I even raised the height of the counters so no more back pain when standing/bending over the counter for a long time. The island would be great a bit higher. The SS cleans up great, not pourous etc. I love mine even after 10 years.Jonninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539457256761038560.post-29848622508640600702010-11-01T19:43:24.133-07:002010-11-01T19:43:24.133-07:00An island on wheels is a great idea.

You can then use your mixer or other small appliances if needed.<br />As to granite, it is gorgous but any stone is porous and could stain. There are a lot of sites online that give you the plus and minuses of different counter top materials.Theres just lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557649636152032566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539457256761038560.post-16660111403871993292010-11-01T17:48:40.447-07:002010-11-01T17:48:40.447-07:00An island sounds so wonderful!
