A good island countertop can totally transform a kitchen. Not only do kitchen islands add functional storage to your space, but they also give those of us with smaller kitchens a useful surface to make prepping and serving easier.
Creating your own DIY kitchen island is not as difficult as you might think—all you need is a cabinet, a rolling base, and a countertop. When it comes to finishing your countertop, you have lots of options to put your own spin on it—butcher block, marble, tile, and so on. We opted to use a shiny white epoxy finish on ours using plywood as the countertop base.
