PROJECT #2 - Kitchen Island
BEFORE
When we bought the new house, the kitchen seemed...lacking. Our first project then, was to add to this kitchen and include an island.

During
Here are the island cabinets ready for installation.
They are faced and connected and then leveled. Holes are cut in the cabinets to hold the electrical outlets. Then the cabinets are anchored to the floor and electrical connected to the panel. There will be three outlets on one circuit. Outlets are added and the backing is glued into place. A couple of padded 2x4's are used to 'clamp' the back so that the glue will hold properly. The island is ready for the top. While the work is ongoing with the island, a butcher block top is created and stained black. The bottom is also stained. Then the top is given 8 coats of hand-applied polyurethane and is ready for installation. |
