A vintage piece becomes a true working part of the kitchen when you give it a stone top. Marble or granite adds durability and a quiet weight that feels grounded.
For this kitchen, I found a side table for $60 and topped it with a remnant of honed black granite. The matte finish catches the light softly, and the surface is durable for prep. It gives the room character and reminds me that unique, functional pieces often have a past.
