Resources
100 Great Ideas for Islands by Annette DePaepe (Miller Freeman Books, San Francisco, CA 1995) is a tremendous resource for ideas, features simple line drawings that convey design essentials while allowing readers to personalize their island. Floor plans and dimensions are provided for each project, and can be copied or adapted for construction. An index organized by features (pot racks, vegetable bins, wine racks and the like) as well as by island size and configuration is an added plus.
