I recently came upon this beautiful kitchen photo on Houzz. What I loved the most was the wood plank that the designer ran up on the face of the island. This thoughtful touch added warmth to what otherwise could have been a cold room, and is great way to do something different to the island face instead of standard drywall. Additionally, it’s the same wood that was used on the floor, so you know it’s going to be durable (think of kids and guests feet kicking/scuffing up painted drywall, or a cabinet face). Check out our Classic French Oak or our new Argonne collections from Plank to achieve this look. (Bonus: We stock our Plank product!)
