If you've been around for a while you'll remember the 1st expandable kitchen island I built. It was pretty cool! But I've been dreaming of a more vintage style island I wanted to build to give a different look to my kitchen. Tyler, my husband, thought I was crazy for wanting to replace it cause he loved the old one so much! He told me if I build a new one it has to expand like the last one to be just as useful as the last one was! So I got to work planning!| Astins Designs
