Drama ~ In the Kitchen

Well, hey there nutty friends!

Having a good weekend??

We here in Utah have been dealing with this the past 24 hours:

Yep, lots and lots of snow. I predict this Winter will be a doosey.

Remember how I said that after the stair project, I was going to be doing a lot of nothing???

Well, see... that doesn't work for me. It's a nice thought though. But, I can't sit still.

I've been wanting my parking spot in the garage back. You see... it's filled with lumber, power tools, pallets that I SWEAR I'm going to use. I decided to use some of that lumber on a project instead of just storing it away.

I've wanted to change up my kitchen island for quite some time now. If you would take a quick walk down memory lane with me, let's visit all the past incarnations of my kitchen island:

It started it's life, like this. Builders grade and dark. So, I painted it to a lovely soft grey:

Hi Maximus.

I'm not sure what happened. Over time, it's turned green. For the longest time I thought it was just me. You know how OCD I am. But, when one of my neighbors stopped by and commented on my "Green" island... uh, yeah. Not just me!

I've wanted to beef this up a bit. Problem with it was, I wanted to do a B&B treatment. But, those additional baking sheet cabinets made that awkward.

Sarah (AKA Thrift Decor Chic) had the same problem when doing this treatment on her island. I kind of followed her lead. Except, I tore out the toe kicks and actually brought them forward, glued them in place and then moulded around them.
