Kitchen Island


This kitchen island was based initially on a plan posted on cherishedbliss.com


Using those plans, we: 
  • Changed the bottom two drawers into one big one 
  • Changed the right side cabinet into a tip-out garbage bin
  • Added a drop-leaf  

Reclaimed wood was used where possible and available.

The cabinet structure takes shape:


The first drawers go in... with reclaimed fronts



Drawers and cabinet door assembled, installed and adjusted


All drawers and cabinets in place, and painted


Trimming the doors. Towel rack installed.  


All hardware in place.  Went with oil-rubbed bronze hardware.


Used heavy duty EVERBILT hinges to support the drop leaf


Island with unfinished top in place


Finished product with leaf up


Front view with leaf up


Back view with leaf down
