I don't know why he can't do just two sides on an island design. You can put together an island anyway you like....even with stock/semi-custom cabinets. I'm not a big fan of 'peninsula' cabinets....the kind with cabinet doors on two sides. Items tend to get pushed out the other side sometimes. I prefer islands built with non-functioning doors on the ends and back. If you have overhang for barstools...you can choose either a plywood veneer panel, wainscotting panel or panel w/ the non-functioning doors applied. You have to make sure to recess the toe on the ends of the island where the fake doors are.

Four, most of my plants are for butterflies, either as host plants or pollinator plants. A couple groups like ferns and mosses aren't. I have a few milkweed species for Monarchs and Gypsy Moths. A. syriaca, purpurascens, sullivantii, viridis, viridiflora, quadrifolia, engelmanii, verticillata, subverticillata, exaltata, stenophylla, fascicularis and speciosa. The native white butterflies and sulphers are almost gone around here, but I still grow the legumes that are their hostplants, and some skippers and other leps feed on legumes also. The legumes I grow are Lespedeza capitata, Lespedeza violacea, Astragaus canadensis, Baptisia australis, Baptisia tinctoria, Baptisia bracteata, Baptisia alba, Dalea purpurea, Dalea foliosa, Apios americana, Apios priceana, Amorpha canescens, Amorpha fruticosa, Amorpha nana, Lathyrus venosum, Lathyrus odorata 'Cupani'. Chamaecrista fasciculata, Senna hebecarpa, Acmispon americana, Amphicarpaea bracteata, Trifolium stoloniferum, Trifolium reflexum, Trifolium carolinianum, Desmanthus illinoensis, Desmodium canadensis, Pediomeum tenuiflorum, Thermopsis villosa, and Scrotalaria saggitata. The cudweed tribe of Asteraceae is the group that appeals to American Lady butterflies. Of those I grow Antennaria neglecta, Antennaria plantaginifolia, Anaphallis margaritacea and Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium. I've wanted to grow the weedy cudweeds. Gamochata pensylvanica, and Gamochaeta purpurea. It's been difficult trying to find the seeds for the 2 weedy species. I grow Wooly Pipevine, Isotrema/Aristolochia for the pipevine swallowtails. I've only seen a few leaves eaten, but there are so many leaves that the caterpillars can hide in? I grow Wild Ginger, Asarum canadense and Virginia Snakeroot, Endodeca/Aristolochia serpentaria var convolvulacea for the Pipevine Swallowtails too. I grow 2 species of native thistle for the American Lady butterflies too. Cirsium discolor, Prairie Thistle and Cirsium altissimum, Tall Thistle. I try to grow only the grasses and sedges that are butterfly host plants. The native legumes don't have ant nectaries, so the caterpillars are basically safe from ants. For Black Swallowtails I grow Golden Alexanders, Zizia aurea, Heart Leaved Golden Alexanders, Zizia aptera, Yellow Pimpernel, Taenidia integgerima, Honewort, Cryprotaenia canadensis,Rue, Ruta gravolens, Swamp Parsley, Sium sauve, Sweet Cicely, Osmorhiza claytonii, Snow Parsley, Cnidium monieri, Orlaya, Sanicula canadensis. For the Giant Swallowtails I'm growing Hopstree, Ptelea trifoliata, and Rue. Rue is interesting in that Black Swallowtails will use it in place of Apiaceae species. For the Buckeyes, which sadly are so rare nowadays, I grow some Verbena species, V. hastata, simplex, bracteata, stricta, urticifolia, bonariensis, and Glandularia bipinnatifida. Also Plantago species for the Buckeyes. Plantago aristata, rugeli, wrightiana, virginica and unintentionally the weedy Plantago lanceolata and major. Im still searching for Plantago patagonica seeds. There are a million venders selling Plantago major seeds online, but a beautiful species like patagonica isn't offered. I've scattered thousands of Agalinis seeds around the beds, and not 1 seedling. Agalinis, False Foxglove is another buckeye host plant. Same thing with Linaria canadensis. I can't get the seeds to germinate. I should get some Pentas for the Tersa Sphinx Moth. The only other species in Rubiaceae that I grow is Buttonbush, Cephalanthus occidentalis. I've also been searching for seeds for the weeds Buttonweed, Diodia virginiana, and False Buttonweed, Spermacoce remota. I only have the Half-Truth Buttonweed Lol. Also in Rubiaceae and Tersa Sphinx Moth host plants. Buttonbush is one of the all time best pollinator plants.

Lol i thought if that too except i paid alot of money to have it made the same as what they ripped off . it was all wood, did it all in white , sofit and gutters are new also, before i even thought of black windows. once i thought of that i ofcourse wished i would have done gray but what is done is staying .

Thank you so much @garybeaumont_gw! I will try to do that with the cuttings, the basement gets pretty cold, and I think I could keep them dormant..... do you think I could bury them in my vegetable garden once I pull everything up and let it sprout in the spring? would that work? I also do not want any more cuttings because I have never tried a fresh fig and don't know if I like them or not... I want to make sure I like the fruit I am growing before getting more! Thank you so much for the offer! It is so kind of you! @Meyermike(Zone 6a Ma.) I am at the point with my houseplants that even I believe I need to say no lol. I still buy more and tell myself I will get rid of some. I always buy long term houseplants that need a lot of work and end up growing huge and tell myself they will stay small... like my lemon tree. Bad idea. It was like 8 inches when I bought it, and nearing on 3 feet now.
