    Love the reuse of items. Much harder work but so good for the earth. Well done.

    I'm digging the idea of putting on doors (instead of the dust collecting) open shelves.

    Brilliant! Well done. I love everything about it. I've just turned a vintage sideboard into a kitchen sink unit and will be making a kitchen island out of another sideboard and some dressing table drawers. Subbed!

    It looks lovely and will be much much better quality than shop bought islands. I'm going to make one myself but haven't found the right pieces of furniture yet.

    That's a handsome kitchen island. Great job. I probably would have added decorative iron brackets or wooden corbels under the eating bar area. Either way, it is beautiful. By the way, I love the brick walls. 😊

      Thanks! And good idea about the wooden corbels, I may do that some day when I have more time!

      @LifeinLaCampagne  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also, raking out and pointing the stone walls was a long, repetitive job but I definitely think it was worth it now!

      @LifeinLaCampagne  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello! The paint I use is from the al fresco range so it is waterproof for outdoor use , making it perfect for kitchen cabinets! In fact, my sister is using it to paint her kitchen cabinets as we speak! Thanks for watching :)

    I’ve looked at so many videos on how to actually screw the top on and every time it gets to that part it’s skipped over quickly. 😪😪😪😪

    • @LifeinLaCampagne
      @LifeinLaCampagne  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello! So I drilled a few pilot holes through the dresser and the surface from underneath (making sure that I didn’t drill right through the surface!!) and then screwed in the screws from underneath while holding the surface on top. Sounds obvious but just make sure your screws aren’t long enough to go right through the surface and stick out the top! We’ve all done it 😂 hope that helps!
