Bead Board Kitchen Island: Reader Inspiration Turned Reality

Sand and Sisal subscriber, Pam Pierce, let me know that she and her husband were inspired by my Kitchen Island Makeover tutorial. They took that inspiration and turned it into a reality, revamping their builder grade island into a beautiful, black painted, Bead Board Kitchen Island!

Pam was sweet enough to allow me to share with you all her pictures. Here is a little of what she wrote.

“I knew when we put in the countertops that something had to be done about the cabinets but was trying to figure out the way to go. So, so glad I stumbled upon your blog and saw your wonderful island redo. With just a few supplies and paint we are changing the entire look of our kitchen and on a budget we can live with. So thank you again for the inspiration...I knew what I wanted was out there..I just needed to seek it out and I’m so glad I found it at Sand and Sisal!”

You should’ve seen my smile! I was beaming from ear to ear! Didn’t she and her husband do an amazing job? They even moved on to the peninsula, wrapping it with bead board and trim. Pam says their plan is to transform the entire kitchen this way and have even ordered new stainless steel appliances.

Seeing a reader be inspired by something I’ve created and demonstrated, and proudly turn that into a reality for themselves, warms my heart! Pam, you made my day! Thank you for sharing with us! Give Pam some Comment Love!

  6. How did you get the posts to sit flush against the cabinet frame edge, doesn't the 1/4" thick beadboard push the post out?
