How to Remodel a Kitchen Island
Adding an island to your kitchen can make your cooking and baking much more efficient. The extra counter space it provides can serve as prep space, storage for small appliances or event a spot for guests to sit while you work away. If you already have a kitchen island, it is extremely easy to remodel it.
Check out some of the magazines to see what you would like your island to look like. Make sure that you choose a design that you can create with no problem.
Go to a home improvement store. Buy all of the items that you will need for your specific island project.
Rrmove the counter top from your current kitchen island. If needed, use a pry bar and screwdriver.
Remove any existing paint from your island. Using a paintbrush, put some paint stripper to the surface of your island.
Smooth out the wood on your island using sandpaper. Wipe all of the dust away from the surface with a slightly damp cloth.
Use a paintbrush to paint the island the color that you would like it to be. Make sure that the island is completely dry before you add another coat of paint. Repeat this step until the island looks how you would like it to.
Put the new countertop that you have purchased on the top of the island that you are remodeling. Make sure that the countertop is even and looks nice. Using a level, make sure that your island is level. Make certain that the island is secured tightly to your countertop.
