How to Build a HUGE Butcher Block Island

Countertop prices are insane when you get into large Island Countertops. It will be thousands very quickly and for this reason we choose to create a butcher block countertop for our island. BTW it also looks great and gives the kitchen a feeling of life and warmth you don’t get with some other choices. So if you want to see how I built mine, to get ideas on the difficulty, tools, and processes then watch this video.

How much does an IKEA kitchen cost???

Everyone considering redoing their kitchen of course will want to know the cost to see if it fits within their budget or compare to other options. In this video i break down my costs into three groups.

  • Ikea Kitchen Cabinets $5084.04

  • Appliances with 5 year warranty $2047.30

  • Tools, light, electrical supplies, open shelving supplies, plumbing supplies, etc. $3400.00

There are so many variables that will determine the cost for your kitchen but this might be a good place to start to help you compare what your contractors prices are verses Home Depot or Lowes.

Selecting and remodeling a kitchen is a difficult and time-consuming process, so take your time and enjoy the process.
