My Dream Come True...free Stuff!
$7
6 Hours
Easy
One of my most common wishes is...”Gee, I wish someone was giving stuff away free at some of the yard sales I attend.” About a month ago, my wish came true—with enough freebies to make up for a lifetime of wishing. Among the take were four chairs, kitchen cabinets, and a chest full of knobs and hardware. Yes, we also bought lots of cool stuff, and the prices were outrageously low.
Kitchen cabinets are ripe for upcycling and the challenge is to make them more interesting and more attractive, since most are pretty boring on their own. I had just gotten two gallons of mistint paint at Lowe's for $5 each: pink and green, without a clue as to how I would be using them. I stacked the cabinets, placing one sideways, and added another cabinet I had picked up for $4 at the Creative ThoughtCenter; it was missing a door, but came with two extras that didn't fit, and will surely end up as something else.

It looks like a mess, but in the end it became a masterpiece of funk.
Yay! Free cabinets!

Do you love it? Do you hate it? It doesn't matter because I love it.

When I look at this piece, it makes me smile. Could I ask for more? Maybe...but I won't.
