Kitchen Island redo

I have been wanting to paint our kitchen island for a couple of weeks now, but Brent hasn't been in "project mode". He has been busy at work, so on his down time, he just wants to relax! This weekend, Brent took Ezra and Emersyn to the farm for the weekend. They had big plans of filling feeders, getting the blinds ready for hunting season, and doing a little dove hunting of their own. Emersyn usually stays behind with Elynn and I, but this time, she really wanted to go. Brent was more than happy to take her. She had a great time with the boys and even got to hang out with some of her girl cousins on Saturday.

The house was so quiet with just Elynn and I. So, I decided to tackle the kitchen island. Elynn is super easy, but just having ONE is SUPER EASY! I felt like I had a lot of spare time during her napping and early bed time. I got the whole thing done! Today, Monday, Brent helped me do the beadboard on the side of the island. I didn't feel like I should attempt that myself. Although, I did go to Home Depot, pick out the beadboard and have them cut it to the measurements we needed! That was a first. Anyway, it was a good project and not hard. I really like it and am happy I jumped on it and got it done!

Here is a before and after!

One day we may do new hardware!
