Loving the shiny top

Work in progress

Wow I can't believe it has been April since I have posted! Sorry all three of my followers..LOL Anyhoo I was so excited about this project that I had to (figure out my password AGAIN) and post this baby. First of all let me say that I swore I was NOT going to do anything this Thanksgiving break but rest....then a quick trip to the thrift store and it was like she was waiting on me. I have been searching high and low for a island for my kitchen that was affordable..because like my dear friends tell me "I am cheap" true to form the price on it was $50 but I managed to talk them into $35...power of persuasion right? All they can say is "No" Fortunately for me it worked. Got her home, cleaned her with some Murphy's Oil Soap, started to sand and realized that I like the way it looked. My mother in love gave me a piece of back splash awhile back and thought I would try it on the doors. It is very thin so Big Jim cut it with some scissors and I glue them to the front. She had YELLOW BANANA handles on the doors and those had to GO replaced with some simple screen door pulls. The bottom had some water damaged so we took some left over trim and nailed it to the bottom. Jim painted the top with some poly and VIOLA! She looks great in my kitchen...I love the way she turned out
