Kitchen Island made from Desk

Let’s revisit yesterday’s post about building a kitchen island from a desk.

 I took the desk from jamie’s room.

 I added a little of this and that.

 Used some fabulous Gorilla Wood Glue to glue some luan on top of the ugly OSB.

 Put it all on some casters.

 

 I added a little trim here and there.

 

 I painted it with primer.

 Painted the drawers with primer.

pin it!

 Voila!

 

 The color is gray (Glidden Heather Gray mixed with a little Glidden oops gray)  even though it doesn’t look like it in this picture.

 The back.

 After getting it inside, I see that I may need to trim out the inside of this area with some bead board to give it a more finished look. It’s amazing what you don’t see until you take a few pictures.
Look at those wonderful drawers! I will be able to organize throw all my stuff in there. Perhaps I can keep all my paint brushes,  Gorilla Glue, etc stashed away, but in easy reach!

And during the holidays we will have a great place to serve up our feasts!

 So, there you have it. My DIY Kitchen Island-Bar-Craft Station.

You can see how I made the top in my post DIY Kitchen Island (top)

Edited to add (June 10, 2012)

After 18 months of not liking the color, I painted my island black.

I have also added some DIY  barn doors and painted my blue counter tops with a faux granite paint.

I’m loving the new color of my island. You can see more of the counter tops in this picture. I also installed board and batten for my back splash.
