Turning a Dresser into a Kitchen Island on Wheels

  • We turn an old dresser into a kitchen Island. The wood for the bottom was 3/4 inch plywood. The flip top and cubby lid were made from edge glued pine. The legs and wheels were purchased from Menards. The flip top does not match the original dresser top because we didn't have a stain to match it. We may eventually replace the original top to match the flip top. We tried to keep this project inexpensive. Obviously we had the tools and some supplies already but the things that we needed to purchase specifically for this piece only cost $100. That cost went to my brother since this was going to be his when finished. $100 for a kitchen island is not bad at all.

    I think this is great; you designed for your brother’s needs and taste, not for anyone else. People are so funny the way they criticize. If they want different handles or paint, they can make their own. This video provides inspiration and people can always customize their own project however they want. I bet your brother is very happy with this.

    Very nice. I imagine the bottom cubby to be perfect for potatoes and onions! A kitchen island can cost hundreds of dollars and this was custom.

    I made a kitchen cart out of a nightstand, that my mom bought for $25.00. It was painted with varnish, but I painted the cart with white paint. I installed casters, without the legs, though. I also installed a drawer pull on the side to hang a towel, or utensils with S hooks.

    So instead of using polycrylic, I now use water-base Spar. It is a better water seal and has UV protection. I was really happy when they came out with the water-based version as I live in Florida and now won’t need as many coats to seal a piece. It is great for anything used in the kitchen.

And that's my idea and put it on rollers. Also, for like an another one of course, and would do away with the little table I have. That would be storage. It would be so nice. Keep up the good work.

    Good job but I would have painted the white brackets same color as the island and I’m not fond of the old fashion handles. I’m questioning why 8 coats of poly and why did you leave the inside cubby unpainted?

    • @TheInexperiencedAdventures
      @TheInexperiencedAdventures  8 месяцев назад

      The brackets were something I had laying around. We didn't want to buy different ones. We were trying to make this an inexpensive project. Paint would have just gotten scratched up and looked bad. I did 8 coats to get the shine and protection for the wood I wanted. We didn't paint the inside because neither one of us thought it was necessary.

    I did this with a small sideboard but all I did was paint it, change the hardware and add wheels. I will be adding a butcherblock top and some long handles on the side for towel racks and to help move it around. I wanted the drawers and bottom cabinet for storage.
