Black Painted Kitchen Island

Six years ago when I started this blog I had no idea where it would take me.  I was in the midst of homeschooling my two children, and working/managing our house cleaning business.  I needed a creative escape and documenting my DIY adventures was a fun distraction from my everyday life. That’s why, when I received this request to paint a kitchen island black, I thought I would reflect back.

When we bought and remodeled our 1827 farmhouse (you can read about it here) I watched a gift I didn’t know I had unfold and finally recognized my dream of designing could come true.

I’ve always wanted to do what I’m doing right now.  I never knew how rewarding and difficult it would be.  I’ve learned more, since opening the brick and mortar shop, than I ever thought possible.  From filing sales tax (which I might add in TN is a complete unorganized impossible to understand NIGHTMARE!) to ordering inventory I’ve worked and stressed more than is likely healthy.

I have so many ideas for the future and so many more goals to set and achieve.  But for today I wanted to show one of my latest projects…..this island that Prince Charming and I painted recently.

It was just a builder grade island that was functional but not that exciting to look at.

We added bead board and a beautiful coat of fresh Lamp Black paint by General Finishes.

I’ve done lots of kitchen makeovers but the after photos still never get old….

Lastly if you made it all the way to the end of this post congratulations and thank you for sticking around!  Hopefully I’ll have another makeover for you very soon!

Until next time! Beth
