I was cleaning out the garage this past week and came across the old top to my kitchen island. As I was taking the boards apart I knew it was the perfect specimen for an oversized stepstool for the bedroom closet. After one board was removed, it was the perfect size to make a…
It’s time for the Power Tool Challenge project for May. This month’s theme is Pallets. I used pallet boards to make a table, but actually staged/styled it as a coffee station or coffee bar. It’s sofa table height, and you could easily make it to be a kitchen island or outdoor serving station. The possibilities are endless with this type of pallet board table!
My old kitchen island/craft station had seen better days. With the sprucing up of the kitchen it was time for an update. I painted it again, but today I’m going to show you how I added a new (larger) top and removed the small curtain and replaced it with a much better option. I used a reclaimed window to make a small door.
I’m so excited to show you this outdoor bar I made from reclaimed wood. It would also make a great kitchen island or maybe even a potting bench. How to make an easy outdoor bar I still have a lot of this salvaged wood stored in a woodshed. (this picture is of the wood when…
I’m going to show you step by step how to make a craft station that doubles as a kitchen island out of an old cabinet.
EDITED to add: Catch as Catch Can will be on vacation next week due to Blogapalooza 2014. It’s been a whirlwind week since arriving home Sunday night from Atlanta. Monday was catch-up day with 10 Etsy orders. I wanted to get them all done right away because a cool front was arriving, and I wanted…
I know, this is a desk, not a kitchen island. At least it WAS a desk before I changed it up. I built a new island/craft station for my kitchen about 18 months ago. I decided to paint it a couple of weeks ago. Why does it take…
I’ve had this jig for a few months now. I love the things I can do with it. You saw that I used it yesterday to attach the desk to the base to make my kitchen island. The first thing I do is set the drill bit to the proper depth. That little collar…
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…
I made a kitchen island. It is going to be multipurpose. It is almost bar height. Most of the year it will be my “craft” station in the kitchen, hopefully keeping me a little more organized. This is not a teaser post (like some people I know). The island/bar/craft center is not finished. I hope…
