DIY kitchen island

All about how we took a store bought sofa table and repurposed it into a DIY kitchen Island, by adding new feet and a butcher block top. Custom piece without the custom price!

Most people do not know this is possible, but you can make a normal rectangular door slab with an arched panel look like an expensive arched-top door by customizing a pocket door opening ...»
with a little drywall work and some readily available arched trim:

Mudroom Built Ins from Ikea Bookcases for $300

Detailed step-by-step instructions (and additional pictures) can be found on my blog here: http://www.thekimsixfix.com/2012/04/adding-m... ...»

Basically, I assembled 2 Billy Bookcases, 1 Billy Wall Shelf, 1 Smadal TV Console from IKEA and attached them to the wall up against a section of beadboard forming an inverted "U" shape. I also attached the bookshelves to the wall shelf for added stability. I left the TV stand free and just pushed it against the wall (as a bench and shoe storage) so that I could remove it to sweep under it. I did reinforce the TV stand with some metal L brackets to support the weight of my kids sitting (and standing and jumping) on it.

Where the shelves met the wall, I added quarter round trim and added corbels under the wall shelf for architectural interest. I also added crown molding along the tops of the shelves.

I had paint color matched and painted all the trim, beadboard and crown molding "Ikea White" (which is actually more of a cream color)

Lastly I added coat hooks and my mudroom built in was complete.

Total cost (shelves, hardware, paint, hooks): $309
