A Damaged Sideboard is Transformed into a Kitchen Island - Extreme Furniture Makeover!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- I am so excited to finally get to show you this makeover! I've been using this in my kitchen now for a few weeks and it was just what I needed! Plenty of storage space for all my gadgets underneath and lots of extra counter space above... and with everything we're bringing in from the garden lately, that's a huge help for me as I work though processing everything.
Can you believe this is only the second piece of furniture we've specifically painted/refinished for our own use? The other one is the dresser we flipped into a TV stand last year ( • Extreme Painted Furnit... ) and boy is that getting it's use! The kids go in and out of those drawers every day to grab legos, blocks, diapers, all the things... and it is holding up beautifully! With all the cooking and canning I do this time of year though, I'm pretty sure this island might just give the TV stand a run for it's money when it comes to how much it gets used!
I hope you enjoy this furniture flip as much as I'm enjoying actually using it! ~Heather

I am so sorry your beautiful wife is ill. God bless you all. Beautiful piece!
Stunning!!! You took something old and not very useable and turned it into a work of art! LOVE the towel bar! Your video was very inspiring and relaxing. You have a beautiful energy ❤ God bless you and your wife ❤️😊
Cool vision to repurpose this strange looking piece & making a Beautiful, functional island for your kitchen‼️👍🏼
EXCELLENT VIDEO...
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you for sharing this video
Great Job! Not sure if your wife is still unwell. God bless you and get well soon. Keep up the good work!
She is doing well, thank you!
That turned out so amazingly beautiful! I am praying for your wife! God bless
Thank you ❤️ I'm doing really well! - Heather
You did a fabulous job! I think its beautiful. By saving and refinishing that piece, you saved it from the dump! Good for you!
Wow it is beautiful. What amaizing trnsformation. Wish all the best to you and your family.
Phenomenal job. It’s beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It was well-paced, and the music was relaxing. Very nice.
That turned out absolutely stunning! I've been looking for something to turn into an island. Thanks for the inspiration. Heather, I pray for your speedy recovery. God bless you and your family. 🙏
Thank you Tiffany!!
You're very welcome 😁
This is so beautiful!! I am sure it's so great to have in your kitchen with all of the goodies you have coming out of your lovely garden. And you have cute chickens 🥰
Thanks Jamiah 😍
Gorgeous! I hope everyone in your family is staying healthy and doing well. 💕
I love it!!! Kudos for taking something that would have gone to trash heap and turning it to something useful 🎉
Bautiful work!
Gorgeous ❤
Wow! Such a great transformation! Love the reused towel rack, smart detail! And the chickens 😍
Thanks Emma!!
I would not have used the center peg on the towel bar so the towel could be spread out to dry.
Beautiful ❤
That is brilliant. Absolutely stunning
Thank you ❤❤ it's been awesome to have for prep space!
I love it. It is so pretty
Fantastic 😍
Seu trabalho ficou perfeito. Parabéns!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a beautiful island. .I can see Heather with the kids cutting up veggies from the garden ... Yummmm 🥰❣️👍
Thank you Debra!
I love the looks of the sideboard just as is but cleaned
What you cut off could be repurposed into a nice wall shelf.? Maybe an extra table leaf for the shelf part?
Definitely have thought about repurposing it! We saved it for the time being because anything we can repurpose, we try to. Especially with a nice solid wood shelf board!
A beautiful piece!!
Curious what it would’ve looked like with the drawers showing their wood grain. 🤔
Elegant!
Really beautiful! My husband has a hard time seeing my “vision” for certain pieces and having him watch this video made him “see” that anything is possible with a piece of furniture. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, Careen! 😊
Mm
Mm
. Mm mm
Beautiful absolutely stunning work
I will have to admit it looks great
Wow! It turned out very nice....good job!
Amazing makeover! Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful job. Love the butcher block top and paint color. Totally understand why you would want to keep that!
Thank you! I've been loving it! - Heather
Turned out beautiful
Thanks Brenda!
I think you gave new life to a piece that was terribly outdated and would have likely ended up in a land fill. Nevermind the people who “shutter” at up cycling and painting wood. Do what you want in your home. It turned out GREAT!
Thank you ❤️ this piece is very well loved! I use it every day for food prep and it's the extra counter space we desperately needed! I don't mind the negative comments... a lot of the furniture we pick up is so cheap because they were "no bids" and nobody wanted them 🤷♀️ -Heather
Beautifully transformed to be the best fit for your family. One question....I didn't understand the shims and all for the top "movement". A novice (me) question...why would the top move?
Thanks! The shims are to help air flow through in between the two solid surfaces. If you were installing the top on new kitchen cabinets, for example, that have no top and only sides you wouldn't have a problem with it. But putting one large flat surface onto another can trap moisture in between and potentially give issues.
The "movement" is a property of all wood - as humidity levels change (especially in an area that changes climate drastically) wood expands and contracts as it gains moisture and dries back out. It's important to allow for that expansion and contraction to prevent any cracking and splitting in your surface. In the case of a butcher block top, for example, it is possible for cracks to start developing down the lines where the blocks are glued together if it doesn't have the room to expand and contract.
Hopefully that all makes sense! 😊

Omg that turned out gorgeous
Thanks Angela!
You never showed what you did to the back, so I assume it's more of a cabinet than island? It did turn out beautifully!
It was actually just painted at first, but we decided to add heavy duty hooks that attached to the underside of the top overhang so we could hang our cast iron pans back there. Works out great, and has the benefit of added storage!
What a great transformation 👍
really turned out very nice
Thank you ❤️
I’m jealous! This is beautiful and what a perfect time of year to use it!
Thanks friend! It's already taken a beating. It's been a lifesaver for prepping things as they come out of the garden!
Bravissimo
Stunning
Congratulations on your wife's last chemo treatment. 🎉 Island turned out beautifully.
Thanks Nichele!
Wow! Well done 💪🏻
Thank you ❤️
I LOVE it!♥️
Precioso
Love it!
Thanks Maddy!
Beautiful! But I dont' get why you drilled holes in the old top and then put those screws with washers in the holes? How do the holes help? Why not just set the new top down and screw longer screws with washers right through the old top into the new top?
Also I dont' see in the description where you got that butcher block. Where did you buy it?

I picked up the top at Lowes (I meant to put it in the description and forgot for some reason). It's back to normal price now, but was 40% at the time. www.lowes.com/pd/The-Baltic-Butcher-Block-The-Baltic-Butcherblock-4-ft-Unfinished-Natural-Straight-Butcher-Block-Birch-Kitchen-Countertop/1000815498

If its chalk paint, you can always water down. Plus, makes it a tad smoother for the end result.
We love watering down our Chalk paint! But mineral paints, like Fusion, work a little different and there's conflicting information on whether you can water it down effectively or not, because it does have "self leveling" and top-coat properties to it.
But Chalk paint is definitely nice to work with, for sure!
מהמם😍😍😍😍😍אהבתי מאוד❤
I prefer to see the wood
I have no idea how you guys can see that finished product in the mess that you started with.
This one we got at an online auction and we actually both saw the picture and said, "Look! An island!"
I really like what you did here. Maybe I missed it, but did you finish the back side so it could be used as an island or are you using as counter space?
Thanks Jeanie! Yes, we did paint the back.. It's just not usually a flattering angle to show and can get a little redundant, but we do paint the backs of all of our pieces, even dressers, because you never know where the piece will be used by someone in their house (obviously we knew on this one because it was for us). It certainly looks more professional regardless! 😊
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So you turned the sideboard into a sideboard. Looks look!…… but not an island.
It functions as an island, and we use it as an island.. Lol youtube.com/@brickhousekitchen
so sad, extraordinary furniture piece turned into ordinary one
It’s nice but personally disappointed. I prefer to see older not so common pieces restored instead of turned into something you could probably purchase new that is comparable.
I'm on the fence as to whether or not I would have done what you did. While you did a good job, you destroyed an older, interesting piece of furniture.
Me too. I’m all about wood and wood finishes. I don’t like painting. And taking an older piece and doing that. I just shuttered.
Beautiful!!!!
Thank you ❤️
