A worthwhile 80 dollar investment...



Chester came with an enormous supply of scrap wood. One of these days I'll post some photos of examples. This included 2 sheets of MDO...which Derek estimates at 80 bucks apiece. So, I got the cabinets for the island...now it needs a lid. Great! says I, we have scrap material we can use! Can we do it in one piece (which would be super cool!), or, do we have to cut it in 2 pieces? Being that I'm married to a brilliant carpenter man, he manages to pull off a "lid" in one. sweet...! And now, we have this lovely bar/island! woot! Okay, it needs a little work...some tile, some trim, etc. But man, talk about improved functionality! I'm almost ready to live crazily, and start unpacking the kitchen!
