Recently, I spotted this homemade kitchen island at a yard sale.
I wanted to buy it to use it in our backyard. The seller had built it, and was understandably proud of it. It is well built and very sturdy.
Because I didn’t want to offend him, I ended up paying $40.00 for it. (He started out at $60.00.) I’ll eventually be painting it, but for right now, I’m enjoying just using it.
I plan to use it as a serving table and/or bar when we host a backyard party.
So, someday, the wine rack, which now holds flower pots, may hold bottles.
I think I’ll probably add a window frame or something on the back of it, but for right now, I’m enjoying using it as is.
Are you with me on this? Do you think it has potential?
Thank you for reading my blog. laurie

I had something similar to that years ago and I paid about $400 for it, so you got a good deal. I think it has a lot of potential.
I think it has tremendous potential!
Absolutely! I love the idea of adding a window frame, that would look great! That was really a bargain price, go wild and have fun!

It sure looks handy to me! Great find. And one of a kind.
I think it was a great find. Things here in Indiana have been pricey this summer I have noticed. So 40 is a good deal! I would love for you to share it at this weeks Home Sweet Garden Party! http://creativecountrymom.blogspot.com/2014/07/home-sweet-garden-729.html

Hi Laurie, what a great yard sale find. Great price as the granite top alone would be more then that. It looks perfect for garden parties and yes has wonderful potential with the ideas you have for it. What a great piece for entertaining or a potting bench. Love it.
Have a wonderful day!

Oh Laurie, this is fabulous. What a perfect piece for the garden. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me.
Great re-use of this piece. I think it will really work great and has lots of potential!
It is perfect, Laurie. Potting bench when not used as a serving table. Great buy!....Christine
Absolutely has potential! With all the pool parties and outdoor entertaining you do, this piece will be well used. Good find!
What a great piece, Laurie! It's great for outdoor use. I think it has lots of potential. Great find!
To me that was dirt cheap for something like that! It's a neat piece- how fun!
Great find! Perfect as a potting table as well as a serving island. What color are you thinking of painting it?

I really do love it. It has more than just a little potential. I will enjoy seeing it when you get your Laurie hands on it.
Surely it is a great find at a reasonable price.
