Earlier this Spring, we posted about the “Double Island Effect” we were seeing pop up in kitchen design, most prominently seen in this year’s Atlanta Symphony Associates Decorators’ Showhouse and Gardens.

The kitchen, dreamed up by the incredible team at Design Galleria, is featured below.

What we neglected to share with you, though, was this kitchen’s most incredible feature–they can connect to become one large island. As Laurie Lehrich writes on the Design Galleria blog, “The two separate islands make for great circulation and ground the perimeter features to the islands’ respective centerlines; however, they also connect and become one large island for the times that you may need additional counter space.  This feature makes for a very versatile space.  It is the creative idea outside the box and the engineering that makes this possible.”

Brilliant, right?
