Not my cup of tea, but it is a good looking kitchen cart.
Great use of old materials.
Loving Yayo

Jawsome. Let me know how it goes if you make one, por favor. Just as an update, the kitchen island is still going strong. I do wish I'd cut a hole above the trash can, but besides that, it's quite boss.

I don’t think it was a waste of time or material. Quite innovative. I’m sure who ever received it appreciates it. That’s all that matters.

This is some funny stuff.
I happened here looking for some “green reused wood counters” that a client wants. From their description I can’t see putting a bunch of old 2×4’s together to make a pseudo butcherblock, just doesn’t seem too sanitary to me.
As for the island, I think it is cute, my only critique would be to have cut a hole in the counter above the trash can to drop trash into. The way it sits under there I can see myself missing it constantly.
I made an aquarium stand using the same type of layout (no copywrite infringement…been 15 years ago), worked well for me and got rid of a bunch of crap in my basement.
When it comes to the new “green” I fear it will be the future “red” for our economy as it grinds to a halt and none of us have jobs any more! Too much of anything is never good.
