Are Farm Tables the New Kitchen Island?
Lately I've seen tables used in the kitchen where I'd expect an island to be.

Is this a NEW MODERN trend?
I think so and I like it.

I think, especially in bungalows and cottages where space is limited and rooms have to do double duty, a table in the kitchen makes total sense. Plus to eat, I'd much rather sit at a real table and on a real chair than perch on a stool at an island. However--here's the disclaimer--tables don't provide the storage space of an island. There's always that pesky give and take.
What do you think?
