Today is all about the custom ikea island.
Building a kitchen island with ikea cabinets.
The cabinet is the middle has a 5 drawer on the top and a 10 drawer on the bottom with a shelf just above the bottom drawer.
This super simple ikea hack diy rolling kitchen island is ideal to save some space you can use this little piece for everything.
The microwave is about 21 wide x 12 tall x 16 deep and it s an lg from best buy.
Those can be nice for a lot of reasons but i knew i d be happier if we erected an island in the middle and rounded everything out to make it feel like one big kitchen and not a partial kitchen and then something else combo.
The island is 3 24 wide ikea base cabinets.
A repurposed wood top and shiplap sides completes the cabinet with farmhouse style.

Before we began this project.
Creating an ikea kitchen island specs.
Hi tracie happy to share.
When not in use it rolls perfectly over the top of the barstools and blends in with the white kitchen cabinets.
Based on our kitchen measurements we have space to accommodate a 7 x 3 island.
On each side of the cabinets we attached 3 4 mdf to build our custom wainscoting and pull the cabinet space together.
We finished our diy ikea kitchen island.
If you have any questions about our ikea kitchen leave us a comment on any of the ikea kitchen posts.
Add some colorful bar stools and vola a gorgeous piece is ready.
We wanted a very specific island so we designed one ourselves and made it happen.
