Dan's of Central Florida, Inc. on Feb 26, 2012Tonya, you might looks into seeing if your college has any type of construction classes going on. Not to take them yourself (though you might), but you could maybe offer up your home as a project for those who are taking the courses.Helpful Reply

Ana M on Feb 27, 2012That is a great idea Dan, and if you want to build your own island, it's as easy as picking out and inexpensive pre-fab cabinet to complement your kitchen and then adding the surface you would like on top. I used two cabinets but you could use one cabinet to make it smaller. If you hunt around there are also a lot of furniture pieces you could use as bases for an island (garage sales, craig's st, ebay, clearance areas at stores) by then adding a custom top depending on your budget. Remember CUSTOM does not mean expensive just built to your liking and with YOUR budget!Helpful Reply

Sarah A. Victory on Jan 06, 2016I agree w/Dan's ideas---don't forget windows of all types also and you can find legs on ebay or at the hardware store. Top the window w/plexi-glass, metal sheeting--what ever is suitable for your needs and budget. Hang in there w/the education and one day you can have exactly what you want. Good luck!Helpful Reply
