DIY Builder-Grade Kitchen Island Upgrade
by
Lost & Found
Updating an entire set of kitchen cabinets can be a daunting task. If an entire cabinet remodel seems a little overwhelming, why not try upgrading just the island? I was able to completely make over the look of this kitchen island for under $150 with no power tools required.
The plan was to add style by installing a custom baseboard, faux "legs" and picture frame molding, finishing it out with sleek, black paint.
With the custom molding and sleek, black finish, the island now has the feel of custom, built-in cabinetry. Upgrading just this one part made the whole kitchen look more stylish and higher end. And all for under $150!!

I'm in love with this. I'll be doing it one day. I think I'll add legs to the cabinets, as well, making them look more like actual furniture.

It looks like a completely different island and I definitely will copy this except I may go a different very dark color. Well done!
