building a kitchen island using cabinets
Kitchen islands are the most versatile addition to any kitchen. they add counter space, centralize cooking areas, add seating and eating areas and appeal to a kitchen layout. the hardest part about making a kitchen island is deciding what to make it with. some use base cabinets, and others use wall cabinets.. 2. since upper cabinets do not automatically come with a toe-kick, one will have to be built. this project calls for an l-shaped toe kick using 2x4s. the toe-kick should be built so it sits 3 inches in on all sides of the cabinets and measures 4 inches high. place spacers throughout the toe kick over the points where the cabinets meet.. Your post is so timely—i’m actually making a kitchen island from a sink base stock cabinet–also from home depot. love your design!! i’m using 1x4s as my trim and actually trimmed down thin sheets of plywood for the sides and am doing something funky w/ a herringbone wood pattern where the stools will go..
