9. Green Cabinets with a Live-Edge Island Bar

If you have a modern, open-concept kitchen, you can bridge the gap between “modern” and “natural” by using a live-edge wood bar as an extension of your green island.

How to Make

Paint your entire island dark emerald green. At one end, attach a thick, live-edge wood slab as an overhang for seating. This allows the kitchen to have a very modern, slab-fronted appearance while still incorporating the soft, organic edge of the wood as a dedicated social zone.

Things Needed

  • Emerald green island paint
  • Thick live-edge wood slab
  • Brushed gold stools
  • Pendant lights over the bar
  • Neutral stone perimeter countertops
