We found this a few weeks ago...
we thought it would make a great
island for our kitchen
It needs some work...
in between haying...
I have been sanding and painting
The butcher block top was a mess...
lots of stains and dents and scratches !
I spent an hour with the sander:
very pleased with the newly sanded top !
Now for the new paint color:
Squash Blossom Yellow
The yellow is so cheerful in our kitchen !
The butcher block top gets a food-safe finish
of walnut oil
Here we go...
So simple to apply...
I am in love !
This will give us so much more counter space
in the kitchen.
Here comes the show ' tell:
Makes you want a glass of lemonade !
The wire baskets on the side
make for extra storage space...
The Cowboy's aunt gave us the kitchen table.
It is from the 1960's...
The table and new island fit nicely together...
Now, time to get back to the hay fields...
lots of mowing, raking and baling to do !

You did a good job on the island and that kitchen table brings back memories! Ours was similar but from the mid-50's.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela! I enjoy bringing new life to furniture.

Oh wow, what a wonderful transformation on the kitchen island. It's perfect with the table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki! The downside to the kitchen remodel is now I look around the rest of the house and it could use a spruce up as well. It's always something!
