Now on to Kitchen Makeover, Part II. To understand this completely you'll have to understand a couple of things. First, I have one of those "can do/sure I've seen that done before" attitudes. Second, I love to read blogs, especially ones that include tutorials in which you create something awesome for half the price and learn some great skill in the process. And third, well... I love to find people that want to do these types of things with me, and Benj seems to always be game for an adventure.
That said, I found a great idea for a table. The inspiration...that table on the right:
Now we don't have a dining room, but we do need more counter space. Benj and I are both towards the taller end, so we decided to make our table bar height. Also, we don't really have space for a "giant table" so we decided to make ours into a custom-sized island. Benj got to work and started sketching up plans. We hit up the lumber store, bought some sheet metal, and here's what we got.

| The table top - ready for the bottom edge to be wrapped and then taken inside. |
|
 |
| Drilling holes for the legs & bolting them on. |
And voila! Turn it over and you've got a great bar height island with a super cool urban/industrial feel. (Sorry for the glimpses of Christmas below. I forgot that I hadn't taken a picture of Benj's handy work yet, so had to snap one just the other day.)
