How to make an easy island/craft table

Shelterpop has a bunch of island ideas…above is just one of them. Click here to link to their awesome site. 

If you’re mostly looking for more storage, try a bookshelf. It’s a great place to stash the cookbooks, mixing bowls and dishtowels if you have limited counter or cabinet space. You can also use two bookshelves as table legs, like these Winsome shelves (pictured above), and add a counter on top. Simply find an inexpensive table on Craigslist and remove the legs or even grab a top from IKEA like the GALANT (above).

I’m thinking about doing something like this for my craft room. It reminds me of the PB craft table.
