Movable Feast by Neal Barrett  This kitchen island, is more than a kitchen-cabinet clone stranded in the middle of the room. Instead, it's inspired by the classic worktables of rural America, blended with the utility you'd expect of a modern cabinet. The result is a counter-height work-station with drawers, a pullout waste bin, a storage shelf and a drop-leaf top. Best of all, this island isn't nailed down-you can relocate it to suit the occasion, and take it with you if you move.
