DIY Bar Footrest & Antique Dresser Kitchen Island! | REISSUED

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Let's make a unique kitchen island with a cool DIY metal bar footrest out of an antique dresser and some chain link fencing materials! Seriously.
I wanted something special for my kitchen island and the antique dresser that my parents have had for years was a perfect start! With a little reinforcement, some paint (ooooh the controversy), and the custom footrest, I think it looks amazing in my new kitchen!

    Thanks Andrew! I’m really happy with how it turned out too! I think the paint color really brought it together. Monochromatic but textured

    I'm really enjoying these house renovations. I'm currently looking for my first home, and one of my big wishlist things is that it's built before 1950. I really want to find a lovely 1920-1930, but most of the houses in my search area that are that old are also in the bad part of town I'm trying to avoid. Also, there is like two styles of homes built in that time period that are common in my area, so actually getting the layout I want has been hard to find. And of course whenever I did find the house that fit everything's I got out bidded by a cash offer. Sorry about the rant. You are giving me so much inspiration for my future house and also validating my ideas about painting dark ceilings.

    Love your island. That blue is amazing. We used a dresser for an island also. I removed the lower drawers for open shelves. It’s so much stylish storage I don’t know what I did without it.

    Love the island, Andrew! Distressed black really was a great choice, especially the way you sanded to highlight the edges, that was a nice touch. You have inspired me to find a vintage piece to repurpose as a bathroom vanity… wish me luck! 😅👍

    New to your channel, gradually checking out the home reno vids. Back in the early 80s, owned a mid 1800s structure which was a construction zone for the entire 2.5+ years we lived there. (Can relate to a number of the issues with which you were confronted.) For us, neverending major challenges, and on a minuscule budget. Learned as we went, all DIY, nights and weekends while we both worked FT corporate jobs. Crazy time. Congrats on 10K subs!

    I struggle with stools for the reason you mentioned. I feel like I'm sitting on a toothpick with some of them. I love the use of the dresser. I've been looking for one the right size for a future reno. It's good you added the footrest, I'll be using this tip for mine as well. Thank you😊 love it💙

    Still laughing about the "removed my clothes" comment. Love the idea of adding a footrest. Personally, the fence post is a bit too industrial for my taste, but very ingenious!

    Your kitchen is coming along beautifully. I love your color choices and design elements. There is only one thing I would have done differently which is to raise the height of the island by making the base of the legs 2 inches higher. The short island looks odd. It should be the same height as the kitchen cabinet to look balanced in there.

    I have a big dresser I want to turn into an island with seating, but it’s missing drawers and the shelving material is cheap so it doesn’t hold the heavy things that I need it to hold 😢

    The decorative legs on the island look great, but they jut out a lot for being in the center of the kitchen - I'd be stubbing my toe all the time.
