Materials: FAKTUM Wall cabinet, Applad white FAKTUM Base cabinet for recycling, Applad white, CAPITA Leg, stainless steel JULIUS Bar stool, Stainless steel, black PRAGEL Countertop, black stone effect, White paint, Hooks
Description: When we bought our house we wanted a kitchen island but we have a smaller kitchen so all the Islands we looked at were to big. So we decided to build our own. Buying everything from IKEA.
I put together the cabinets.
Then on with the legs.
I drilled holes in the cabinets and screwed them together.
I drilled holes for the countertop and screwed it together with the cabinets.
Painted the back with white colour and screwed some hooks under the countertop for dishtowels and pot holders.
It fits perfect with 3 Julius Bar stools.

ReplyDeleteThank you! =)
DeleteVery nice. Sleek and functional. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteThank you! =)
DeleteHi Jacob, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteI do have a question though. Is the weight of the cabinets enough to make the island stable even if people want to lean on the overhang part?
Thanks!
Hi Jon,
DeleteThank you!
I had the same question before I started the project but yes it's stable enough, it's really heavy and not so easy to move around in any kind of way.
Hope that helps you.

This is cool
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert!
DeleteHi Jacob,
ReplyDeleteHow did you finish the back side of the countertop? I was just in Ikea today looking at this same countertop and they said it couldn't be used for an island because it wasn't finished on all sides.
Looks great!
Did you ever get an answer to this question? We are up against the same problem. Thanks.
