My mom wanted a kitchen Island because she didn’t have enough counter space. I picked this Island up at a garage sale a long time ago. I’ve done a lot of work to it, it was in really rough shape when I got it. The first thing I did was put shelves in it. I used 3/4’’ plywood for the shelves, which gives her a lot more storage. The top is one inch thick solid oak, I found the top at a yard sale also. The sides are made out of wainscoting, at first the sides were really rough. So I used my nail gun to attach the wainscoting all around the island. My Mom said if I fix it up, she would paint the wainscoting. It turned out really nice and gets a lot of use.
Thanks for reading,
