My Other Kitchen Island
Well you all know that I can't leave anything in the same place for long and I don't think I have ever showed you my kitchen with the dresser island in it?? I love the dresser in here cause as you can see it is a small kitchen and I can store my cookware in the drawers so it works great for extra storage. I have it angled here so you can see it better, it's usually straight. I painted it a light pink and added the rose appliques, I want to get some towel bars to add to the side and back if it to hang some pretty dishtowels on, as a matter of fact I found some the other day at Marshall's but the registers went down and I couldn't buy them so I'll have to go back and get them. You can see I put up my red checked curtains for Summer, I thought they looked cute but I don't know how long they will last, LOL! I hope everyone has a great weekend (;

Kelly,
I love it! I like it better than the table too. Mostly because it is more functional with the drawers for storage. Also it looks taller and is easier to use. I wish than I had room for an island because I love this idea.

I love the dresser in your kitchen! My favorite piece of furniture! There are so many uses for dressers aren't there. Your house is darling. Krista
You continually amaze me with your ideas, creativity and changes that you make to your home. I love this new look, of course I loved the old look too!! You just have a way to inspiring me. Thanks!!

What a great idea! I love to change things around myself and this is gives me some ideas.
It was great to visit your blog again.
Thanks for sharing!
I have to move stuff around too, or I get bored. I love this. I've had my old sewing machine table as my kitchen island for a few months. But have been kind of itching to find something else. So I'm "shopping the house." Wish I had something that perfect.

O my Gosh! That is soooo cute! Love it!
Kelly that looks great. I recently found out that my grandmother used to rearrange the furniture once a week and so did my aunt so I get it honestly. See, I'm really not weird...LOL!!
I love the curtains because you have other touches of red in there and they look really really cute.
Have a great weekend.

I never thought of using a dresser as a kitchen island-- love the extra storage! I use a dresser as an entry table in my home. It's a great place to store shoes:)
Love the idea and the ribbons on the jars give the jars a nice touch.
Functional and cute and I love the curtains. I spy your pink mixer...great color for mixing in flour:)

I love your dresser island! My kitchen has a very similar layout to yours and I would have never thought of this ~ thanks for inspiring me! I love how you think outside of the box!

The dresser looks beautiful in your kitchen as an island. I like the touch of red too! Your blog is like candy - what a treat!

Kelly, I love the dresser in the kitchen. I have a sideboard that I use as my island. The table/chairs I use upstairs in my craftroom as a sewing table/puzzles/craft projects. I love your home - no matter what you do it looks awesome.
Hugs,
Connie
What a beautiful island! I want one in my kitchen! A great idea!
I love that dresser. It looks great there. I have an old buffet painted white in my kitchen for the same purpose. It gives me extra counter space and storage. Much cheaper than additional cabinets and I like the looks better too.
Love it! Lori
ooooh - love it!!
I wish I had room for an island in mine! That is wonderful!

Very nice-the applique's turned out so nice...that is a great way to salvage a piece with a ruined top.

I love the look of your new island...so functional too. Have a great weekend. ~Natalie
It looks great! I noticed you moved the other island to the living room was it? Your new one looks like it belongs perfectly in there. I'm the same way, things get moved around all the time. Change is good! :)
