China Closet from Repurposed Cabinets

From damaged to dazzling! My husband got these cabinets from a partially burned down home. We decided to change our utility room into a china closet. The base cabinet was a long cabinet that he cut to fit. The two cabinets above that was a long wall cabinet that was cut down. He used small trim to cover the seams. The tall shelf cabinet was used as it. He added an enclosed shelf up top. He took a cabinet door and installed it sideways. The smaller wood panels were from another job he did. He used them to enclose the corner which houses the hot water heater. I love my china closet. To see more of the transformation, go to my blog at http://awalkinthecountryside.blogspot.com/2012/04/china-closet-reveal-on-very-thrift.html

  • They were stored in a barn for a couple of weeks, then were moved to the backporch. I cleaned them with TSP cleaner, I think that's the name of it. There didn't seem to be a very heavy smoke odor and after priming and painting there wasn't any!
