The plan is to make our island look more like a piece of furniture by adding a bookcase to one end - giving us a place to display our beloved cookbooks (yeah). We'll pretty things up with some trim, half newels and knees (carpenter talk) then paint it black. The island will grow from 64" to 80" long giving us enough room to add a 4th stool (yeah). The icing on this cake will be changing up the yucky laminate top for a white corian or quartz top (still looking at samples and gathering quotes on that one).
Stay tuned...
* 'We' meaning Handyman Dad and me. I draw it, he builds it - doesn't get much better than that!

Nice team work. There should be some good meals for Handyman Dad when project # 2 is finished what with all those cookbooks close at hand.
Looking good ... .
This is all so exciting!! What a great idea for the island. I love the lights and can't wait to see each step of the Kitchen makeover.
"I draw and he builds it" Lol. Sounds like our house!
