Stacy shared on Hometalk how she created a smart DIY project with her portable, slide-on bar railing countertop.
This project is the perfect solution if you need extra counter space for entertaining but don’t want anything permanent.
I really like how Stacy made it so the railing just slides right onto the existing counter with zero screws or damage.
She even used simple, affordable materials like wood, supports, and wood glue to bring it all together.
The best part is how polished and custom it looks once finished — seriously, it looks like it came with the house!
Stacy also mentions you can stain or paint the wood to match your kitchen for a seamless look.
Here’s Stacy to show you exactly how she measured, cut, and assembled the pieces for a perfect fit.
And if you’re wondering, she found her railing brackets online and got the lumber from her local hardware store.
