One of our customers had the vision of an antique island in his kitchen. My immediate response is "we don't have anything in the store that I think will work" WRONG.
We took an existing small French Walnut Cabinet in the Henri II style from the late 1800's and made it into an island with a wine rack in the bottom. Ingenious if I do say so myself. 8)
By taking the top off and repositioning it back to back with his bottom half, we got our main body of the island. Next, I took some good advice from a good friend and refashioned a new top entirely. Dressed out the trim with some good solid walnut, a splash of oil and wax and here is what we got...
I am waiting for the granite to be delivered and then someone will have a one of a kind piece in their kitchen to brag on...
Be like our customer, be creative. Everyone can buy a new piece of furniture that everyone on your street has as well, or you can take something with existing character and add your personal touch to it's history.
Can you tell I'm proud of it!?
