Wooden Kitchen Island: Introduction

In a home, the kitchen is the heart. And at the heart of the kitchen is the island. At Dovetails and Stitches, this truth has been our guiding principle for three generations.” As a 3rd generation maker with over 40 years of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how a custom piece of furniture becomes a part of your family’s story. Our kitchen islands are not just cabinetry with a top. They are crafted to be functional, beautiful pieces of furniture, tailored to each homeowner’s unique needs.

Wooden Kitchen Island Styles: Crafting Your Centerpiece

Every homeowner’s vision is unique, and we bring these visions to life. Our range of woods, like oak, cherry, and maple, and the unique charm of reclaimed wood, allows each island to tell its own story. From classic farmhouse to sleek modern styles, our designs are as diverse as our clients’ tastes.

Kitchen Islands: Customized for Every Need

Your kitchen island should be as unique as your home. At Dovetails and Stitches, we specialize in creating pieces that are tailor-made to your specifications:

  • Choice of Hardwoods: Select from oak, cherry, maple, and more for a unique character.
  • Reclaimed Woods: Opt for reclaimed wood for a piece with history and rich grain.

Your kitchen, Our Craft, Your Story

I want to share a story about a recent project in Texas. The client requested a distressed reclaimed heart pine island that was chunky, yet not overly large. After creating the initial designs and receiving approval, we sourced reclaimed heart pine. The project involved turning custom legs on the lathe and mastering the finish – a unique black distressed look with reds and browns. This project was a testament to our commitment to creating pieces that are as unique as the stories they tell.  We named this piece Autumn Leaves as the leaves were in full color while we were making this piece.  It seemed appropriate.  You can order one of these for your very own using this link here.  Autumn Leaves Link
