Before & After: A DIY Kitchen Island Makeover!

by on Feb 6, 2012

Oh, hey! It’s a comically small kitchen island floating awkwardly in the middle of the room!  If this predicament sounds (or looks) familiar, we’ve got just the makeover for you.  

 

Molly Crawford*, the sassy blogger and DIY extraordinaire behind The Nesting Game, turned her once too-tiny kitchen island into, well, a sexy butcher block workhorse that’s appropriate in scale and style!  Using the existing cabinet base, she created a new frame to support the large piece of butcher block that would soon double the kitchen island’s final footprint.  Adding decorative legs sealed the deal and brought the whole project together.

Like any good DIY blogger, Molly documented the process (including a step-by-step breakdown of how the whole thing was built) to help like-minded homeowners along the way!  Check out the details over on The Nesting Game.

*We had the great pleasure of meeting Molly–IN PERSON!!–at Alt Summit a few weeks ago.  She is awesome.  Her blog is awesome.  Read it, follow her, fall in love.  We did.
