More and more people are using old furniture pieces for permanent fixtures in their homes.

I went in search of ideas for a kitchen island and ran across Debis tutorial.

This whole project started with the fact that I have more kitchen items than some people have clothes.

I love to cook, bake, decorate cakes, make homemade pastas, you name it!

So how was I going to solve my problem with a shortage of storage space?

Lucky for us we have a great sized kitchen which gave us a chance to have an Island.

My husband I went to a thrift store and found the perfect dresser to transform into our kitchen island.

Granted I love the concept Debi does…the paint job?

We absolutely love it and it provides drawers for all the things I was needing extra storage for!
