As you know, we are all about taking builder grade and making it beautiful, unique, and interesting — and doing it all on a budget. So when projects like this one show up at the link party, I am always so thrilled to feature them! Just look at the lovely makeover that Denise gave her standard kitchen island, using reclaimed fence wood and $25 in other materials!

You could use the same idea and technique on a larger scale and different pattern for one of these looks:

Denise, this is lovely! Such a big change for such a small investment. Great work!
Remodelaholics, head over to Frazzled Joy to pay Denise a visit — and be sure to check out her other great budget-friendly projects like how she jazzed up boring flat doors and built a mudroom bench with cubbies.
And if you’re looking for a thing or two to do with old fence posts, try one of these!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to share this project with your readers!! It really is everything I hoped it would be, and was a pretty easy DIY 🙂
Thanks for being our guest, Denise!!
So fun to see Denise’s fantastic rustic island featured! Such an amazing update for $25!
