Where Ideas for your Home Meet Inspiration for your Heart

Imitation is flattery…a kitchen island transformation feature

When they say “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” they couldn’t be more right!


Last week I got the sweetest email from  Kristi of I Should Be Mopping Up the Floor 

i should be mopping the floor


with a link to her island transformation post and sharing how my island transformation tutorial had inspired them to do their own! She mentioned carrying around her phone with my post on it at Lowe’s to show them exactly what supplies they needed and what they wanted to create!

Do y’all know how much that made my day…my week!?

See, as much as I love getting to show off my projects and get some virtual pats on the back and recognition and even a feature in Better Homes and Gardens of my work…even more special is knowing that I’ve inspired someone…and that my tutorial actually worked and wasn’t a complete flop for someone else. 😉

I would love you to pay a visit to see her full post and tutorial and the extra special touches, like adding legs to BOTH sides, they made to their island!  And, I’m so coveting the towel rack!



Thanks Kristi for letting me know I inspired you, or should I say my island inspired your island! grin! Please pay Kristi a visit and give her a “follow”…she’s uber talented and so darling!  Have a lovely weekend…don’t forget Inspiration Friday is still going on as well as our The Rusted Chain Giveaway!

See you tomorrow…for Simply Sundays!

  5. What a fantastic project. I’m hoping with a bit of re-arranging at my place I’ll be able to move the island out of the kitchen and build an island. This one looks amazing! xx
