Kitchen Island as a craft/cutting table

So I was at Ikea this afternoon till evening and I got the chance to have a look. Specifically for tables & sofas. Which I was still wondering why we were looking for sofas when the initial plan was different? :p

And I think, I will settled for this kitchen island as my work table...A Stenstorp kitchen island! I was looking for some ideas before going to Ikea and inspired at Posie's new craft room and thought of getting a Varde Kitchen Island, but that island is not available in Ikea Malaysia, so there are 2-3 kitchen Island that can be considered. One is to small, another is too short and this one is just nice.

What makes me still in thinking mode is the price - it costs RM1500++ just for that. And the color is in beige. It is simple, with shelves and has a tough, sturdy and thick top. My husband likes beige and I like white. Since its gonna be in my room, maybe I will paint it white. I like the rough texture of the top tho. But lets see if it still fits my budget :p

~Still calculating....~

p/s- Business still as usual yeah? I still work late at nite this few days to settle with all the orders. Just shoot your emails ok?
