I love the kitchen island idea. I would add wheels to the dresser so I can easily move it around when cleaning. It’s amazing how easily you can change the look just by painting it and adding new knobs.
I actually used old barn wood to make a headboard on my wall for my bed.
Fantastic ideas here, and I love being able to repurpose some of my old furniture and things I have found at thrift stores.
