Of course and she should these are dare I say UGLY , pickled arched top oak , its gotta go , but a reno is not in the cards and the cupboards are in good shape .<br />Dark is the look Lisa loves , her dream kitchen would be dark stained wood, so I said black as the trend is going and is stunning , but she is leaning more deep brown , great that will do fine too , the fireplace is the dark brown and it looks amazing . So we are good to go , I am talking her through it and going to tackle this job with her , I know it is a lot of work.<br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Problem</span> is people {mother , paint people etc} keep trying to convince her otherwise , "paint it white" safe and nice but not the look she loves,"paint with melamine/oil" no no no she needs your votes of confidence , ok let me hear it , should Lisa and I paint these yucky cabinets , I mean they are pickled . A dark brown and paint out the bulkhead to match and add crown moulding like the second photo below. You can see it , she just is a little afraid.

How to build a work table

How do you decide how to make a work table , thankfully the work surface is already purchased , for $60.00 a large butcher block counter , so that is my starting point and size.<br />I know I want it higher than a regular dining table, more comfortable to work at . Low cost of course.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZpEjm_FFlTPsjfFUBpglya0QH3AGf6QooKFeMGUO3uYsu6XHIx2T_cP4i_mFS2JYvBZYVVvNtIi4wB6lzpGXOjsm_xjbICox0g6wbKM9FOAPgn-BKjgWCcw1_uYxZgHP7KouldFTci0-c/s1600-h/workroom+table+support.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270194687364057362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZpEjm_FFlTPsjfFUBpglya0QH3AGf6QooKFeMGUO3uYsu6XHIx2T_cP4i_mFS2JYvBZYVVvNtIi4wB6lzpGXOjsm_xjbICox0g6wbKM9FOAPgn-BKjgWCcw1_uYxZgHP7KouldFTci0-c/s400/workroom+table+support.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> I was liking the idea of using the base for storage , perhaps a pair of these book cases , I would need to make them higher some how .<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjufzErR95Nx5Cz4Zy6_r5UiZIb0KPe-7TKhUmb9qFh3Zq_VxwtfeLaUpUMXKs5ziY0loGxUWcljTM7xH38inGIkuRP2PszrnG3QSc7PVcAD1qPOsreEmwtoR4JURte64DgEnfm_fT5x-uB/s1600-h/work+table.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270194689348243890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjufzErR95Nx5Cz4Zy6_r5UiZIb0KPe-7TKhUmb9qFh3Zq_VxwtfeLaUpUMXKs5ziY0loGxUWcljTM7xH38inGIkuRP2PszrnG3QSc7PVcAD1qPOsreEmwtoR4JURte64DgEnfm_fT5x-uB/s400/work+table.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> I love the look of this island but not enough storage and my work space is twice the size of this one.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaIFADq54YfAw-bNPpLqX60TASPQivw8DdHcyiF5Bi0w3qcxZLFdWT7Wz5Dd2SZH0fr68Akkz9hEgid384CwaFpQWhUdvI1-GHNJgDb4LgxvrP3XC6_PdhlyjHPN0GWoB-k6Q6Cz4oPJX7/s1600-h/table2_1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270194689072019986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaIFADq54YfAw-bNPpLqX60TASPQivw8DdHcyiF5Bi0w3qcxZLFdWT7Wz5Dd2SZH0fr68Akkz9hEgid384CwaFpQWhUdvI1-GHNJgDb4LgxvrP3XC6_PdhlyjHPN0GWoB-k6Q6Cz4oPJX7/s400/table2_1.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 370px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 283px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> This too is charming , but lacks storage.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkujHVlGNEi_qY15f74u0z6V1NwOtuQ7_xzmu-fteQYFeJsrStAz1aZ8tnES0RLOX2HtO6xk4U7S2FvfZ14Im_ddaSa_7ACUyoUPFvFRzaEokKBBFSXJUgIB2rNfjiWEZl6WopdfKvwRB5/s1600-h/img038.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270194685476556466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkujHVlGNEi_qY15f74u0z6V1NwOtuQ7_xzmu-fteQYFeJsrStAz1aZ8tnES0RLOX2HtO6xk4U7S2FvfZ14Im_ddaSa_7ACUyoUPFvFRzaEokKBBFSXJUgIB2rNfjiWEZl6WopdfKvwRB5/s400/img038.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 226px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br />It would be great to find an old character piece like this .<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUy5ub_QBZnD8vSy85VxBzm-75q9-gWH2rpVvP9vybOQhzMypIiDXW4biB3LNq3fUGBwYG4PXtlBXBGRGFoF-0b89Sg03lfil7kddOj_QXYA6VHe0U5__tOnF9G4ej7pGVy7eb9usePOYz/s1600-h/image%5B25%5D.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270194679262173650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUy5ub_QBZnD8vSy85VxBzm-75q9-gWH2rpVvP9vybOQhzMypIiDXW4biB3LNq3fUGBwYG4PXtlBXBGRGFoF-0b89Sg03lfil7kddOj_QXYA6VHe0U5__tOnF9G4ej7pGVy7eb9usePOYz/s400/image%5B25%5D.png" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 270px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><br /><br />This is more of the type of storage I am hoping for .
