A KITCHEN ISLAND MADE FROM PALLET WOOD & A BIT OF IMAGINATION

Hi there.....so very happy you could stop on in. I have been super busy crafting etc. and building. This is such a busy time of the year but exciting and fun especially for me as a blogger. I try to introduce crafts, wood projects etc. for little or no money. A couple of days ago it was time to take out all the Christmas decorations, my kids avoid me that day like I have a terrible catchey flu, no one wants to take part in that job!  Well its done and I have begun to decorate ! Ill be sharing soon.

So my youngest daughter Amanda loves to have a fire pit gathering and we are certainly having some chilly nights so I spotted that she brought home some pallets so I got to thinking wow what could I make so I thought about a kitchen island. So I gathered my tools that included tape measure, electric jig saw, screws, electric screwdriver, some odd pieces of wood I had in my stock pile,  paints and got to work!  I actually used the pallet for all of it except the shelf and a piece of tongue and groove for the front and back.

After the building was done just a few hours I gave the whole thing a black wash which means I used watered down black paint because I wanted to see the wood grain show through seeing I was going for the rustic look.

 I then used my favorite seafoam color but put it only on the top and very sparingly. I had this piece of glass from another piece of furniture and it fit well, making it a better surface to clean.

 I stenciled a bit

 Added a towel holder that I had forever

 Now my daughter is enjoying it at her new place ! now onto my next project!


So happy you stopped on in today, You can have something nice in your home with a little work and imagination for little or no money!  

Till next time   happy crafting...................Lisa
