Island kitchen.
In March 2021, actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore launched Beautiful by Drew, an elegant and affordable home products line sold exclusively at Walmart. The product line started with a few kitchen products, including the popular air fryer, which continued to sell out, and has since expanded to other spaces in the home. Consider things like accent chairs and TV stands.
Taking the collection back to its roots and bringing it into the kitchen, Barrymore's latest product is a chic kitchen island that is as functional as it is stylish.
There are many ways to use the product. Free up cabinet space and use it to display dishes and pantry essentials, or for those with little countertop space, carts are perfect for storing small appliances. The wheeled design allows the island to be easily moved, making it even more functional no matter how you use it, and the built-in glass rack and hooks also make the island the perfect bar cart for entertaining. The baking tray is made of premium butcher block material that allows you to chop and cook without damaging the surface. However, if you want to keep it looking good for longer, ScS Interiors His stylist Victoria His Foster explains some additional steps.
“If you really want to protect the wood surface and avoid leaving cut marks, use a completely separate cutting board to protect the surface,” she suggested. “Never place a hot pot or tray directly on a wood surface, as this can damage the wood and leave scorch marks. Instead, use a trivet to protect the wood from the heat. Oiling is the best way to maintain wood, so consider oiling the surface several times a year. This will protect the wood from water damage and extend its lifespan. .”
The large, durable surface is the perfect place to prepare meals, even if your built-in countertop space is limited. “For stain removal, or for a monthly refresh, mix lemon juice and salt in hot water and gently scrub the surface with a cloth,” Foster suggested.
Offers plenty of storage options including racks, hooks, and open shelves.
One of Barrymore's favorite ways to use the product is as a dining table.
“In fact, with the stools, we could probably seat six people around here,” she said in an Instagram video of adding tablecloths and tableware to the top of the island.
Like all of Barrymore's home products, the kitchen island is designed with home aesthetics in mind. The brown wood complements most decorating styles, and the golden bars give the island a luxurious finish. Essentially, it is a classic piece of furniture that will never go out of style.
“Wood is always popular when it comes to interiors. It's a very durable, practical and timeless material, and when styled correctly it can also be very impactful.” said Foster. “Having said that, there may be a moment when different shades and types of wood take the spotlight in interiors. For example, at the moment, coffee tables and large dining tables often feature dark shades reminiscent of the 70s. We see a lot of mahogany colors and light distressed oak.”
The beautiful kitchen cart on wheels retails for $368 and can be purchased from Walmart.com.
