Thrifty Kitchen Islands

ThRiFty ThuRsDays

Kitchen islands have been really thrilling me lately.  Maybe because my island is the most boringest traditional thing that you've ever seen.  Matches my cabinets perfectly, blah! blah! blah!  I seriously can't wait to get another house so I can think outside of the box and create a little.  I find absolutely no inspiration in my house.  It's a great house, don't get me wrong, but I want to have some fun!!!  Oh boy, I'm starting to sound a little whiny, must be from hanging out with 3 year olds all day, but see what I mean?

but not bad for where I came from:
