An island with a soapstone and butcher block combo countertop is perfect for versatile entertaining in your kitchen. The soapstone's stain-resistant surface is ideal for serving appetizers and drinks, while the butcher block provides a convenient area for cutting and arranging food. This combination allows you to easily transition from prepping to entertaining, making it effortless to host parties and gatherings. Install a wine rack and a built-in sink to enhance the functionality.
