19. Make a Kitchen Island Out of an Old Dresser

Kitchen islands are a fantastic way to add extra storage to your kitchen organization. The only problem is that they are typically very costly. Converting a dresser into a kitchen island is a fantastic DIY idea. Measure the dresser to make sure it's the right height before you begin. Paint it to fit your kitchen, or replace the drawer with something more in keeping with the theme. If you're going for a shabby chic or farmhouse-style kitchen, this project will look great.

Butcher block countertops come in one big, vital piece from stores like Home Depot and Lowes. You can mount it to the top of the dresser and immediately turns the piece of furniture into a cooking station. Additional storage space, which is essential for kitchen organization, is provided by the drawers. A comprehensive enough top for the island might theoretically hang over the side of the back of the dresser if purchased or made. Consequently, it makes space for people to sit on their bar stools and eat their meals.
