Creating a Kitchen Island

Submitted by JoA on Wed, 07/31/2013 - 12:49

I made these shelves to connect to a vintage sideboard that with a new granite top will become our kitchen island. Since the sideboard was dark and highly carved I wanted something chunky, sturdy and with a bit of style. Use links in the original post for all the building details.
