Today's Monday Repurposing Post is all about recycling/upcycling
old kitchen cabinets.  Versatile and sturdy, older cabinets are perfect
for reuse in a myriad of functional and practical ways. 
 

So what, exactly, can you create using kitchen cabinets?

♥   a darling pet bed or side table



Mission Decorate

♥   add legs and a little chicken wire and
you've created a beautiful country buffet!
 
 
 
 
Gail of My Repurposed Life made a darling
bench out of a set of kitchen cabinets:

Gail also created this adorable nursery
toy box/bench out of a kitchen cabinet.
 
 
Here is another idea for repurposing cabinets into a window seat:


Kitchen cabinets provide an amazing amount
of storage for a laundry room or mud room:


A little sandpaper and a can of paint completely transformed
these cabinets which were installed in a hobby room:


Two bottom cabinets were used to create a kitchen island:

 
 
Why, kitchen cabinets can be repurposed into all
kinds of amazing things - like this awesome bed:
 
 
. . . . . or to provide extra storage in the garage:
 
 
If all else fails, just use the cabinet doors to make serving trays:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
. . . . . or a menu chalk board
 
 
. . . . or a hand painted inspiration sign with towel hooks
 
 
. . . . or use a cabinet door and a Mason jar to show off your Summer flowers.
 
 
Yes, old kitchen cabinets can truly be repurposed in many wonderful ways.

  2. Haha I absolutely love the chicken coop! In fact I love them all, except the bed. I'm just not convinced about the bed, you might just feel like you were sleeping in your kitchen :P
