New Kitchen Island From Scraped Up Wood

One day the entire kitchen is getting a proper renovation. Until that time comes I am constantly reconfiguring it trying to keep it functional for a family of seven. 

I built a new island to replace the last one. This one is sturdier and offers more storage space. I reused the top from the old one.

As it was before:

Cute, but wobbly and limited for storage. 

I took off the legs and used two of them to beef up my standard chalkboard. A fence board across the top and bottom and some paint and voila! (try that recipe btw-it’s DELISH):

I fabbed up a new island using some scrap pieces from the stash and put the old top on the new island:

Here she is in the kitchen!

My new bakin’ station is looking pretty nice! Thanks for looking Xx
