The Modern Shaker Island
Kitchen Showroom Spotlight
Explore the island from our Decora modern Shaker kitchen display and see why the Gunny Fresco finish generates so much attention.
This unique stain features quartersawn oak with a white glaze overlay that creates depth and texture you won’t find in standard wood finishes.
Combine that distinctive look with an organized sink base, mitered-edge quartz countertop, and thoughtful storage features, and you have an island that’s both a focal point and a workhorse.
Distinctive Finish, Practical Features
The specialty storage and sink organization in this island make it as functional as it is beautiful.
From adjustable drawer inserts to a dramatically thick-looking countertop edge, every detail is designed to elevate your kitchen.
Kaylee Door in Gunny Fresco with White Glaze
The Gunny Fresco finish is one of Decora’s most unique stain options.
It starts with quartersawn oak, which has a distinctive straight grain pattern that’s more uniform and refined than plain-sawn oak.
Then a beautiful stain is applied, followed by a white glaze overlay. The glaze settles into the grain and recesses of the modern Shaker door profile, creating dimensional color that shifts in different lighting.
It’s a finish that brings warmth without being overly dark and offers visual interest that standard stains simply can’t match.
Angled Wood Tray Divider Pullout
The base cabinet on one end features an angled wood tray divider pullout designed for cookie sheets and cutting boards.
The angled design makes it easier to see what you have stored and grab what you need without items sliding around.
It’s a practical storage solution that keeps bakeware organized and accessible.
Metal Adjustable Drawer Inserts
The top drawer includes a metal adjustable insert that you can customize based on what you’re storing.
The movable dividers let you create compartments sized for your specific utensils, gadgets, or tools. It’s flexible organization that adapts to how you actually cook rather than forcing you into fixed sections.
Four-Drawer Base with Wood Utensil Insert
The four-drawer base cabinet features a wood insert in the top drawer specifically designed for organizing utensils.
Whether you’re storing silverware, cooking tools, or larger items you want kept separate, the wood insert keeps everything neat and prevents the jumbled mess that happens in open drawers.
Organized Sink Base
The sink base is fitted with built-in organizational accessories that transform the typically chaotic under-sink area into functional storage.
Keep cleaning supplies, sponges, scrub brushes, and dish soap organized and easy to access. No more digging through a pile of products or dealing with items that tip over every time you open the door.
Everything has a designated spot and stays put.
Caesarstone Darcrest Matte Quartz with Mitered Edge
The countertop is Caesarstone quartz in Darcrest Matte, a deep, sophisticated color with a matte finish that feels modern and refined. But the real showstopper is the mitered edge.
The quartz is cut at a 45-degree angle and joined at the corner to create the illusion of a thick, substantial slab. In reality, it’s standard three-quarter-inch thick material, but the mitered edge makes it look significantly thicker and more luxurious. It’s a detail that elevates the entire island.
Granite Composite Sink
The sink is granite composite in a dark black color that coordinates beautifully with the Darcrest countertop.
Granite composite is incredibly durable, resistant to scratches and stains, and quieter than stainless steel.
The dark finish ties the whole look together and creates visual cohesion between the sink and counter.
Delta Renaldi Bridge Faucet
The faucet is a Delta Renaldi Bridge style with a pull-down spray head in Lumicoat Arctic Stainless.
The bridge design brings a touch of traditional style that balances the contemporary countertop and modern Shaker doors.
The Lumicoat finish resists water spots and fingerprints, so it stays looking polished with minimal maintenance. The pull-down spray head adds functionality for filling pots and rinsing dishes.
Applied Decorative End Panels and Leg
The sides of the island feature applied decorative end panels that give the cabinetry a furniture-quality finish.
At the overhang, a decorative leg provides both structural support and visual interest.
These details transform the island from a standard cabinet run into a piece that feels custom-designed and intentional.
