Kitchen Island with Open Shelving

The kitchen island is the heart of the home.  

We are building a small, starter home to sell, and of upmost importance is a great kitchen island that does it all, stores it all, while looking beautiful.  Here's what we came up with:

diy kitchen island with cabinets

On the "work" side, it features a sink, a pull out trash drawer with a cutting board/knife drawer - so it becomes a prep center - and a dishwasher - so it becomes the dishwashing center.

On the seating side, we added open shelving (which also increases countertop space) and keeps stuff off the countertop.  This is where you can put everything from serving dishes to board games, charging cords, laptops - even snacks, paper plates, craft items.

We extended the countertop about 6" over the open shelving - so you can still sit and eat there too.

We also added seating on the corbel end, not only creating more seating, but also creating seating at a corner for cozier conversations and less awkward homework helping.

We tried super hard to make this a great island that the new homeowner will love. And we are sharing the free plans, so you can build it too!

2x4 Outdoor Side Table

Reader submitted photo modified in height, see more photos here

Out 2x4 Outdoor Collection is a reader favorite!  Since so many of you have built the sofa or sectional pieces, we thought we'd add a side table plan to the collection too.

All of the plans in the 2x4 Outdoor Sofa collection are available here.

This collection is so popular because:

  • It's easy to build with just straight cuts, a drill and a saw
  • It's all 2x4s, so holds up well and is heavy enough to not blow away in the wind
  • Easy to modify to fit spaces and custom needs
  • Can paint or stain just about any color

We love this little side table, because it's just four 2x4s to build it! It's sturdy enough to hold a plant or even an occasional guest!
