Mary, you and your husband never cease to amaze me with your DIY projects. The island looks absolutely perfect in your kitchen. Congratulations to you and yours and I just want to say, the Lord has blessed your home and your family. Hugs.
Watching you making gorgeous projects such as this island brings me so much peace and joy, Mary. Not much else going on in this 85 year old's life these days, so I thank you. ❤
It's beautiful and so functional. The fact that you and your husband made it together is so special! Sometimes it is worth the wait. We built our own house and had to take our time in finishing things. My husband is a union carpenter and makes amazing things. I couldn't even envision how our island would come out from salvaging an old industrial iron mangle base. I love it! It's a one of a kind piece and so worth doing ourselves! Thank you for bringing us along as you made your dream come true! 😊
I was thinking the same thing! When we got our internet signal back, it was so good to watch something that doesn’t require muck boots. Praying for you too abiding pastures!🫶🏻🙏🏻💪🏻
I rarely comment on videos because I watch on my TV, but I made an exception for this video. I LOVE your new island. Honestly, I love most of your videos, and they’re one of the first I watch each Wednesday. And since I’m here…I ordered the dishcloths from your website, and I have to say I was skeptical, but I find that I do love them. Thank you for offering a variety of items to help our homes function or look better. Many blessings to you and yours…oh and congrats to your son on his engagement. Such a blessing.
Mary, how beautiful. Although your kitchen is the same size, it's looks so much bigger. Open and airy. You & John are works of Art. Blessings light and love 😊❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸 Pamela/NJ
Congratulations to you and your husband, Mary! You did a wonderful job with this project. The island is perfect for your kitchen. I’m sure this is going to serve you well in the years to come.🤩👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Ohhh it’s beautiful!! My first thought when you showed the legs was how it was so close to the island my nephew made for me. I had a piece of Italian marble(stamped) from my deceased husband’s family that I wanted to use in some way. He did a fabulous job with it and now 22 years later, I’m still in love with it. I hope you have the same enjoyment from yours. It’s a great place to roll out all sorts of dough!🍁🌻🍁💕
I just LOVE your new kitchen island, you two did an AMAZING job building it! The best part of the video was seeing your smile when the countertop was installed. You can really tell you are loving it and I can see why! Simply beautiful!
It’s a stunning piece of furniture even if it’s an island. It’s really very pretty using the oak wood (which is my favorite of wood) Smart idea bleaching it. I hope you rinsed of the bleach afterwards. I could see you smiling from ear to ear at how happy you are. John did an awesome job in making it n the stone you picked is pretty. I like that there’s a lot of white yet you have that black n a little bit of the beige which like you said goes with the oak. I can tell you’re a very happy girl n you finally have your beautiful island. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟
The island is beautiful! What a great job you and your husband did. I love that look. Best part was Twinkle’s approval! So adorable, I’m glad you filmed it! Thank you for sharing!
I love your new kitchen counter! You are the smartest at building furniture! And thank God for your wonderful husband, I used to have one that wood do anything I wanted him to do! He died with a heart attack 11 years ago! I really miss him! I enjoy watching your videos so much! Thank you for sharing!
I love that you aren’t afraid to drop some money and then explain that it’s an investment. Truly is. So many people want to do everything for nothing and it’s not always possible. Thank you!! The island is absolutely amazing as are all of your projects and endeavors!! Really enjoy your content😍😍
Oh my goodness! The island is beautiful! I’m surprised at the cost for the top…..very reasonable! Enjoy your new island Mary…I’m happy for you! You and John make such a great team! ❤
I can actually feel your excitement and appreciation for such an heirloom piece you and John created. You have envisioned it for a long time. Your time and patience has really paid off.
Your island turned out so beautifuly Mary being open opens up the room so much. I love how you and your husband work together so well, it's truly a blessing. I'm glad your enjoying your new island I think it fits beutifuly with your kitchen.
Mary, you and your husband always impress me as to how well you work together. The island is beautiful. The wood tone matches your beams so well. Congratulations on your new Island. Like the open concept of the bottom. GOD bless
Your new island is stunning and I love that you put the shelf on the bottom. You and your husband always do such a beautiful job on anything you make by hand. Your smile says it all. Enjoy!!
Oh my goodness, the island is gorgeous, Mary!!! You did an amazing job, once again! You and John never disappoint. I am sure you will enjoy it, looks great with the rest of your sweet kitchen! Thanks for sharing ❤
Beautiful! The contrast of the white top and wood bottom of the island next to the reverse of white cabinets and wood countertops in the rest of the kitchen is perfect!
Mary, it’s so beautiful. I love it. Thank you so much for being such a light here on TH-cam. I appreciate you staying true to yourself no matter how big your channel has gotten.
Gorgeous!! 😍As always, a fantastic job John and Mary! We totally made over our 1950's kitchen a couple years ago and put in quartz counter tops, we LOVE THEM! The smile on your face when you were cleaning the counter .... I know that feeling. lol
Oh my gosh Mary! The island is absolutely beautiful!💕 I loved hearing God’s symphony when you were working on it on your porch! Thank you for sharing!❤️😊
Stunning, Mary. You’ve done yourself proud. Weather in northern Minnesota is very dry as well. I’m expecting a burning ban anytime now. No rain in the forecast for at least another week.
Mary you and your husband need your own HGTV show!!! The island is fantastic!! ???? How did you attach the counter top...is it glued on??? I would have never thought to have the legs be flipped and they look wonderful!! I love all of your projects and how great that John helps you with all of them!! Just for esthetics, get matching baskets for the shelf underneath. I think you will like how it flows better. God Bless and thank you for sharing!
Mary, your new island is gorgeous! John did such a beautiful job making it and the quartz top is beautiful! Thank you for sharing ❤ I think you will have lots of people wanting one just like it!
I could see from your face Mary just how pleased you are with the new island ❤ whoever said that women want diamonds and expensive things...some of us are morecthan happy with new kitchen counters 😊 and marvel in the beauty of them. Your island is spectacular Mary and John & yourself made a phenomenal job of designing & making it. Brilliant, well done ❤
Your beautiful island looks like it was always in your pretty kitchen. You and John are a great team! Love the look of it and that it will be a great work area. 🧡💚🤎 The color of the quartz is purrrrrfect and is kitty approved.
Awwww Twinkles looks like my sister's cat whom we had to put down few day's ago even though I'm allergic it's heartbreaking!!! We love and miss you Trouble!!!🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Hi there, Mary! I look forward to Wednesday to see what you're up to next. After having refinished furniture for many years, I have a tip that may help you in the future...being that red and green make brown, use a stain with a green undertone (such as ash) should cancel the red in the wood. Looking forward to next Wednesday!!
Beautiful Mary!!!! Would love to see the new counter top on the island on the other counters, that’s how gorgeous it looks. So much talent! Love your kitchen. ❤
I love thinking outside the box. I did the same as you and used stair posts turned upside down to have the ball "feet" when I made an island from reclaimed lumber. I always enjoy your channel and your creativity.
Mary, the island is absolutely beautiful. And I could tell how much you liked it by the way your were wiping it down. It completed your kitchen perfectly. Everything has come together wonderfully. Brava, Mary! Brava!❤❤❤
Mary the island is absolutely gorgeous! You and your husband did a beautiful job. Thank you for sharing. I love hearing the birds. I sit on my back deck some time every day just to hear them. I also have deer come up in the yard almost everyday they really are so beautiful. The young deer come right up to the deck as the mother deer watches and I have carrots and fruit laying out for them. I don't move for fear they will run off. They do look up at me and keep eating. Have a blessed week. 🙏🌴
Oh Mary so Beautiful! Don't ever think that you are not deserving. You have the Best visions of what you want to accomplish, and I have never seen any item that you redo turn out anything but GREAT. You should be Proud of your pieces. Twinkles stamp of approval was the icing on the cake. So cute. I Love watching you turn items into Beautiful things. Hugs from Canada
The new trend is to mix March stones so you could easily put a soapstone on the other when you are ready for a complete gut job in 10 years. I think it turned out beautifully and I don't mind red oak but to each their own. Looks great with the floors. Twinkle approved!
Mary, you and your husband never cease to amaze me with your DIY projects. The island looks absolutely perfect in your kitchen. Congratulations to you and yours and I just want to say, the Lord has blessed your home and your family. Hugs.
The color of the wood is so warm. What a stunning piece of kitchen furniture. You probably smile every time you see it.
Only one word can express your new counter. STUNNING.❤
Cute, twinkle gave his paw of approval!!!😅
Your island is GORGEOUS! And that little bit of tan running through the countertop... Chef's kiss!
Love your island Mary!! ❤. You and John did a fantastic job on it!
The island is beautiful! The smile on your face as you were cleaning it was just precious!
I noticed that too! 😊
Watching you making gorgeous projects such as this island brings me so much peace and joy, Mary. Not much else going on in this 85 year old's life these days, so I thank you. ❤
Same here tho I am 78.
How lovely is your new island. You are so fortunate that your husband can do all this work for you. It turned out spectacular.

This Kitchen Island Is So Beautiful. And The 🐦 Bird's Singing Is Amazing 🐦 🦜
Mary, the island is absolutely stunning! I love how beautiful it is!❤️
Mary, this farmhouse-style island is a piece of art and couldn't be any nicer!
What a difference! Its gorgeous. And of course if Twinkle approves, its 100% meant to be. You'll get years of use from it 😍
In the midst of all the horror here in NC, your calm video was such a blessing in the midst of the storm. May the Lord bless you in all that you do.
I'm so sorry this happened in NC & elsewhere you are all in my prayers!
I’m praying for y’all down there too.🩷
I was thinking the same thing! When we got our internet signal back, it was so good to watch something that doesn’t require muck boots. Praying for you too abiding pastures!🫶🏻🙏🏻💪🏻
