Table Island
How do I convert a changing table into a kitchen cart/island?
My apartment has very little counter space and I have an old changing table that is the perfect working height, has drawers and wheels. I'd like to turn it into a kitchen cart, but I dont know where to start. I can barely hammer a nail into the wall.
What tools do I need?
You should purchase a cordless drill, some 6x1 wood screws, carpenters glue. You will need to measure the surface and obtain a piece of cabinet grade plywood or a section of counter top These are available as small as 4 feet in length. Buy enough 1x2 furring strips to act as a ledge inside the area you will be covering. measure and cut the furring strips so that they fit inside the area and are even with the top edge. Fasten these in place with the glue and the screws. You can the screw the top (of plywood to the furring strips). If you use a counter top then use silicone caulk on top of the furring strip and set the counter top on that and it will hold it in place. If you want a drawing contact me at cserv12@hotmail.com or abramartin@hotmail.com use countertop in the subject line
