One idea is to make the back chalboard paint so your kids can sit and draw while you cook…

This is insanely gorgeous! I am getting ready to use some oil based paint on my campaign dresser and have never used it before. Did you use any type of protectant or top coat with the oil based paint? Thanks!

Gorgeous! I would love to add an island, but there's just not enough space for one in my kitchen- it would really block the flow to the table and the fridge. I love the smoke grey! My kitchen table is the same color. Just be careful not to scrub it with anything too rough (like the scrubbie side of a sponge) or there will be a little dull spot in the finish. I learned the hard way when I tried to scrub off some dried-on jelly :(

Like how you added the feet to make this a substantial island. Reusing something old and repurposing it to fit your needs is awesome. I didn't have enough money in my kitchen budget to order cabinets for my island, so I made one out of our old cabinets, trimmed them with beadboard and chunky trim. Couldn't be happier.
