The island countertop is walnut, custom-made by Block Brothers. “The island itself was designed to be a piece of furniture, consistent with traditional English design, while still allowing for ample storage for the demands of family life,” Block says. “For our wood countertops, our team selects every board by hand and finishes them with a hand-rubbed oil and wax, which allow us to highlight the wood’s natural properties.” The countertop and backsplash are soapstone.
