Kitchen Island

Beginning stages of framing out the island

Primed beadboard lined bookcase for my cookbooks

The rope sticking out of the side is for the electricians tomorrow, who will put in an outlet on that side of the island.

Levi's brother David is really good with wood working, and has really enjoyed it as a hobby. He has taken on some jobs here and there, so we hired him to make our new kitchen island. The old island was tall and bulky, kind of not very usable to sit at, and not really our style. We had been looking online and in stores, getting ideas. David was able to make EXACTLY what we were looking for, and explained to him, and we couldn't be more thrilled! The only thing left to do is put the trim on it, which he will do. I will prime and paint the island, and Levi will make the countertop. It's been a fun project, and we are very thankful for David's work on it!
