Sketch out a plan for your island. Your post is so timely i m actually making a kitchen island from a sink base stock cabinet also from home depot. Upgrade your kitchen with an easy to build kitchen island made of base cabinets back panel and countertop.
But before you jump out and buy the cabinets think about the countertop material you d like and research the sizes available.
This will make a 24 x 60 base that is topped with a 39 x 73 butcher block counter. I m using 1x4s as my trim and actually trimmed down thin sheets of plywood for the sides and am doing something funky w a herringbone wood pattern where the stools will go. Before you begin building the island order your countertop made 21 1 4 inches wide by 56 inches long so that it s ready to install when the base piece is done. This project uses two 30 cabinets to serve as the base for the island.
