Turning a Dresser into a Kitchen Island on Wheels
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We turn an old dresser into a kitchen Island. The wood for the bottom was 3/4 inch plywood. The flip top and cubby lid were made from edge glued pine. The legs and wheels were purchased from Menards. The flip top does not match the original dresser top because we didn't have a stain to match it. We may eventually replace the original top to match the flip top. We tried to keep this project inexpensive. Obviously we had the tools and some supplies already but the things that we needed to purchase specifically for this piece only cost $100. That cost went to my brother since this was going to be his when finished. $100 for a kitchen island is not bad at all.

I think this is great; you designed for your brother’s needs and taste, not for anyone else. People are so funny the way they criticize. If they want different handles or paint, they can make their own. This video provides inspiration and people can always customize their own project however they want. I bet your brother is very happy with this.
First time I saw a dresser turned into something so useful!
EXCELLENT Idea about using the Handles as a Towel Holder...
Beautiful work and nice to see an older piece with real wood get re-purposed, versus paying more than twice as much for a new veneer piece. Great job!
You and your brother work well together. Your Mother should be proud!!!

I think he plans on storing his rice cooker and air fryer down there.
I love recycling! It keeps it out of the landfill. And saves another tree. Project turned out great.
Very nice. I imagine the bottom cubby to be perfect for potatoes and onions! A kitchen island can cost hundreds of dollars and this was custom.

Never store potatoes and onions together. They will both spoil quickly
I absolutely love the color choices you did along with the stained wood. And the cubby perfect idea. Wish I could work with wood,😂 Excellent work !
OH MY GOSH... I have the almost EXACT same dresser... Same Handles too!!!! I was thinking TODAY about throwing it away You both did a Fantastic job... I might not throw away my dresser draw away now.. Love your Tattoos.. There is a Huge Tattoo show here in Carlsbad, New Mexico... I am the only person that goes and doesn't have any tattoos... LOL They look at me like I'm really strange.. but I love the art. Thank you for sharing this great video
Wow, the way you two guys work in unison makes me think what it would be like to have 4 hands, great guys!

Beautiful job you guys‼️‼️‼️and that secret little hidden space 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻‼️
Wow soooo nice love the color combo too. Awesome work.
Absolutely stunning!!!
I made a kitchen cart out of a nightstand, that my mom bought for $25.00. It was painted with varnish, but I painted the cart with white paint. I installed casters, without the legs, though. I also installed a drawer pull on the side to hang a towel, or utensils with S hooks.

Looks fabulous. Great work.
Looks absolutely beautiful,but you need to paint those white hinges that hold up the extra table, they stand out like a sore thumb! Paint them the dark green!
Simple and perfect idea and am excellent color
I have that exact dresser along with the tall dresser. What a keen idea.
Gorgeous - and ingenious!
Wow--beautiful & practical.
Beautiful work.
Beautiful!
Thanks for sharing..Know this is a trade well thought out. God gave you all a gift 👏👏
Beautiful result!
Loved it…..very talented.
WOW l am amazed that is so beautiful you guys did an awesome job be proud of yourself.
Absolutely beautiful. You did a beautiful great job. I wish that live close to you. Cause I'd like to get a cabinet section and make a drop leaf. Table like that for a bar. And that's my idea and put it on rollers. Also, for like an another one of course, and would do away with the little table I have. That would be storage. It would be so nice. Keep up the good work. I love watching you
So instead of using polycrylic, I now use water-base Spar. It is a better water seal and has UV protection. I was really happy when they came out with the water-based version as I live in Florida and now won’t need as many coats to seal a piece. It is great for anything used in the kitchen.
Looks NICE!!
Great job!!
Beautiful job !!
Awesome turn out ❤
What a lovely job
Beautiful ❤
Magnifique travail pour de nouvelles fonctionnalités...un îlot de cuisine en re conversion.....bravo👍
Loved the great finish. Great you guys are recycling and keeping items out of landfill. You and yourbrother have good ideas. Well done. I bought an oak cupboard and my husband sprayed it with car paint and some new handles it turned out beautiful and a lot cheaper than paying a joiner to make a new one. Take care😊

Lots cheaper.
Great job and idea 😊
That is really nice. The only thing I would do different is make that bottom part, under the shelf, more hidden, for a secret stash for valuables, and not us a decorative pull.
