Taking a thrift-store kitchen wall-cabinet, some fuchsia paint which never seems to run out, and a few odds and ends, I upcycled it all to a combination bench/cabinet. The cabinet itself was $5 and in relatively decent condition. I painted it, added wallpaper samples to the front panels, and made a cushion by narrowing a $1 thrift-store king-sized sham and stuffing it with two old pillows. It now sits in my barn, very close to the fuchsia shelf unit created from discarded dresser drawers (http://www.hometalk.com/diy/beastly-to-useful-and-absolutely-free-2111098). All that's left to do is add door pulls and paper the inside walls. Those things may take a while since I've too many pulls and too much paper from which to choose.
