#How to make a kitchen Island from a set of lower kitchen cabinets

Here's what my dining room looked like before I started my reno. i was ripping this whole wall of cabinets out anyway for my reno but I'm all about re-use/re-cycle

Step 1: find a set of 2 lower cabinets (if you're not lucky to have them already)

I was lucky enough to have taken 2 lower cabinets (with double doors) from my diningroom renovation that I can use for my kitchen island..and they match the kitchen cupboards

If you dont have any lower cabinets have a look at Restore/online etc or buy new I guess? But i like to reuse/recyle

I set the one cabinet in the kitchen just to get an idea of what it might look like when I'm finished

you should also have at least 3 feet of walking space around your whole island and it looks like I'm right on the measurement here so that's awesome!

As you can see there's more reno's going on than just the dining room. I'm actually moving in to a modular home and it needs work, let me tell you! That's all part of the fun though, eh

The plan is to stain the cupboards ebony but still show the woodgrain. but that's a whole other reno.
