A kitchen island is typically thought of as big — big expense, big use of space, big investment. But hear me out! If you have the space, you can easily (and moderately inexpensively) create a kitchen island for your home in less than three steps! This DIY has a midcentury modern appeal, with a open bottom that allows you to store stools or chairs when they're not in use!
Prep It!:
Butcher block counter Counter height hairpin legs Power screwdriver
Do It!:
- Flip your butcher block over, so the top is facing the ground.
- Position your hairpin legs on each corner of the block and screw into place.
- Stand your table upright, make sure it is even and not wobbly, and enjoy!
