Before & After
A picture walk through our Craigslist Kitchen Progress thus far (keeping it real with preschool artwork on the fridge & clutter on the counter tops):
You can read about how we made the island here.
We still need the backsplash and some of the moldings (and eventually a new fridge) but we are this close to being DONE!!
I’m loving my new-to-me kitchen 🙂
It’s finally here, in my hands. It has been a loooong time in the making, but our book, All I Never Knowed: Mental Illness, a Mother’s Love, and a Broken System, is available now. The official launch date is next Tuesday, Oct. 5th. But starting now, you can order from all major retailers. Here’s where […]

Stephanie – Smart thinking on the sepiatone. I just stopped by to say hi and I read your last few posts. OH MY GOODNESS! Your kitchen not only looks amazing, but I can’t believe how cheap you were able to do it! You totally rock! WOW!!! I also never would have thought to use a dresser for an island but you guys really made it work. Awesome work!

I just found your blog and stopped by for a visit after your comment on my blog. Your kitchen looks awesome! I can not believe what a great deal you got on your kitchen from Craigslist. I love the island you made…great job! I’m your newest follower.
Stephanie I can’t believe you made that out of that ugly dresser. I used to have that same ugly dresser! LOL You are a genius for even thinking about doing that! My hat is off to you!

What a great idea, I refinish a lot of dressers and never thought to do this with one! Outstanding 🙂
Love the island!
Gorgeous job on the dresser!!! I keep looking for a dresser for my front hallway. Seeing this redo just gives me hope that I will find the right one someday.
Fantastic job on the dresser to island transformation. Your kitchen looks amazing.

Amazing transformation! How inspiring! And way to go with that dresser! Really neat!
Your dresser/island is amazing! Sorry if you’ve already posted this somewhere, but could you tell me what color paint you used for the island? Thanks!
Mindy- the island & backsplash are painted in Valspar’s Brandied Pear. The wall color is also Vallspar, I believe it is called Green Tea Leaf.
