I have never lived in a place that was big enough to have a kitchen island. It’s always been a dream of mine to have one though, because they are such great storage and cooking surface solutions. I kind of always figured they would be expensive to make. When I went to go look at ideas on how to create one, I found that most of them can be made for far less than you think. You can turn an old dresser or some salvaged wood into the DIY kitchen island of your dreams! If you are looking for great ways to make your own kitchen island and stop dreaming about it, here are some DIY Kitchen Islands for inspiration.
