Do you want to renovate your kitchen with some vintage or French country decor? This rustic farmhouse kitchen island provides additional counter and storage space. Plus, you can conveniently move it around…
You don’t have to do an extensive remodel or even figure out how to build cabinets yourself. This DIY island cart actually arrives already assembled, so all you need to do is decide where to put it.
In my opinion, it’s a great way to save money while adding style to the most-used room in your home. And as you’ll see below, you can get a ton of use out of it.
Wheels Make this Kitchen Island a Lot More Versatile…
This large, robust kitchen island looks like it would be a stationary piece of furniture. And, you can actually set it up that way.
However, it does come with removable caster wheels, so you can turn your island into a mobile kitchen cart.
For example, use it to serve drinks at parties or as a buffet table for holiday dinners. It instantly becomes a lot more versatile.
Note: I really like how this large rolling island has tiny wheels that you barely even notice. So, if you don’t really like the appearance of kitchen carts, this kitchen island/breakfast bar offers a good option.
Wood Detailing & Distressed Finish Create Custom Farmhouse Look
As you can see in the photo below, the cabinetry has a weathered, antique look with the distressed finish. This makes it look like a custom, handcrafted piece that would cost a lot more than it actually does.
Plus, it gives you a bunch of extra storage space, more counter area and a kitchen table. Yes, the extended table can turn this island into a convenient breakfast bar.
Using Your Farmhouse Kitchen Island as a Breakfast Bar:
This kitchen island looks beautiful from all 4 sides, due to the intricately carved corner posts and finished backside. As a result, you can position it anywhere in the room without having an ugly backside exposed.
In addition, the tabletop extends over the back to create a sit-up breakfast bar. Therefore, you can use the island for food prep as well as dining. Or, you can sit down while preparing meals as well.
That said, this farmhouse style island doesn’t come with matching stools. You’ll need to purchase those separately.
This actually gives you the opportunity to choose the exact type of seats that you want, at the price you want to pay.
I came across these cushioned pub stools that match the style and color of the distressed cabinet. They are both comfortable and stylish, and the price isn’t bad either.
Furthermore, the seats have 4.3″ thick padding for extra comfort. The legs also have protective floor pads, so your floors don’t get all scratched up.
You can get these pub stools in 2 different heights: 24″ or 29″ tall. (Since the counter height measures 35″ high, I’d choose the 24″ stools.) They also come in a few different colors.
Note: Some customers have switched out the wood top for a granite or marble countertop. So, if you want a harder surface – or you want to match your existing kitchen counters – you can do that.
