Happy Labor Day everyone!! I’m spending the weekend finally pulling a ton of photos off of cameras, so I can finally share some of the projects that I’ve been working on, and totally slacking on posting. Am I the only one who leaves like 500 photos on my memory cards before I get around to downloading them?? In any case, about a month ago, I showed you all my recent Annie Sloan chalk paint complete kitchen makeover.
As part of the kitchen makeover, I gave my totally boring, plain oak island, a super hot makeover with some paint, trim and new island legs!! Seriously, it is amazing how just a couple of special touches, can make such a HUGE difference.

Kitchen Island Makeover Part 1 – PAINT!
Big difference, right??
Island legs from Lowes - only $22.98 a piece!
There was not really an exact science, or pre-measuring to this part. I basically sized the legs so that they could wedge in between the granite and the flooring, and then worked my way around the island measuring the distances with the trim to add for support. I used double L brackets on either side of each leg, to secure them to the trim pieces and make sure the tops were totally supported and would not budge.
And now, check her out, in all her HOTNESS!!

Have a question about this project?
How’s your Annie Sloan paint wearing ? I’ve really heard divided opinions on using chalk paint for kitchens . I know sealant is important .
One blogger said she did her first kitchen that way and would not do that again .
Beautiful! Did you use a roller or a brush? If you used a brush, what type? Thanks.
Did you fill the oak grain before painting? I want to do this also but filling will take a lot longer. If you didn't, does the grain show thru a lot? Thank you in advance
