So read on to find out why you need to get your crafty on and make your own island.

It’s Less Expensive

You can buy an island for your kitchen, but it’s going to be quite expensive. If you are spending this much money on an island, you’re going to want it to match your cabinets and counters, and that’s an even more expensive task.

Islands are Awesome

If you’ve never had an island, you’re going to see that it’s a life changing item to have in the kitchen. It makes cooking and baking and everything in between so much simpler and more efficient, and it’s going to make you quite happy to have this in your kitchen.

Creative is Always Choice

When you make your own DIY island, you’re going to be able to customize it how you see fit. You can make it modern and big, small and compact and you can make it opened or closed off or whatever you want. It’s your masterpiece.
