Island Dreaming
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
I am on day 4 of being home with a sick girl. Thankfully, she is feeling a bit better--I am getting a pedicure right now from her :). I am also dreaming of being on a beach, somewhere warm and sandy, sort of like this picture:
And I am also itching to build, but the garage is about at zero right now so I am stuck inside painting. Which is good too, but I want to build something big like an island. Also, today on HGTV's Design on a Dime they were excited to make a kitchen island out of an old dresser for $400. I thought, "Heck, I can make one for less than $25!" But, until I get to do that, I thought I'd share a few islands I have made in the past.
I think this is the first one I made from an old folding, deck chair.
I made another one from the other chair.
I made this island from a roadside desk, an oil drip pan, and other elements.
This isn't really island but a fun kitchen piece I made for wine or other storage. I made it from old bed part I found in an alley.
And here are a few of my recent islands, one from an old wagon,
and one from pallets.
What about you? Doing any warm weather dreaming? What are you working on?
