Repurposed: Hutch To Kitchen Island

Very nice re-purpose. Good job.

And the scenery looks inviting, also. Wish we had a few nice mountain (or even rolling hills) views, as that. Our flat landscape is somewhat boring and the recent heat-humidity wave doesn't help the feeling of life-style stagnation, lately.

into the gondola though?

Sweet!

Very nice job. Looks great. Hope she is happy and proud. ;)

I love when things get repurposed and not tossed.
