It took us 5 years of living without
to realize what we need.
I have always wanted a kitchen island, but
always thought our kitchen was too small
9'x9'
(+- a few inches)
Several weeks ago
while out junking...
I saw a hideaway sewing table.
Right then and there
it clicked!
Tiny kitchen = Tiny island.
I connected the legs w/ 2x4's
then slats to make a shelf.
Painted it an off white -
then aged it w/ a grey/green
(dry brushing)
I put pennies on the top
(per Pinterest)
*about $8 in pennies for the top, couldn't buy tile to cover the top for that cheap*
Now, I just need to buy the 2 part epoxy to clear coat the top.
Thought about doing grout, but hubs and my fear is that the grout would
cover all the details to the pennies.
