I found an old, sturdy table online and saw something in it: a future kitchen island.
After sanding, painting, and adding locking casters, it transformed into a functional prep surface. A butcher-block top sealed the deal. It rolls when we need space, stays put when we don’t, and adds storage underneath.
Guests assume it came from a nice furniture store. Truth is, it was a weekend of work and a little creativity.
Conclusion:
Repurposing furniture can stretch a renovation budget and give the kitchen personality store-bought pieces rarely have.
