What can I do with the curbside find?

Debra Gaunt on Apr 20, 2015I would remove the door repaint it a cheerful color and make it into a pet condo. If you don't have a small pet I'm sure your local animal shelter would have someone adopting a pet who would love to have somewhere warm & cozy for them to sleep.Helpful Reply

Gail Salminen on Apr 20, 2015@Kitchen Kelli great score from the streets. There are tons of things you can do - it would great painted in a couple of complimentary colours - not sure of your colour scheme in the house. If you have an entertaining room perhaps convert to a wine rack - I would suggest removing the center of the door and putting some chicken wire in place of the panel. Attach some short feet to the bottom - similar to finials - always a classy feature. Why not tap the creativity on this site and do a few searches - repurpose cabinet, refinishing furniture etc. Good luck and I hope you come back to post an update pic.Helpful Reply

Mar1293249 on Apr 20, 2015After checking well for termites, and spraying it very well, I would ask my husband to ad the top shelves and a door to turn it into a colonial cupboard for the dining room, or anywhere in the house.Helpful Reply

Kris hardisty on Apr 20, 2015If using for storage for kids games and toys Put a checker board on top with paint and a chalk board either or both. Put some box on side for checker storage and/or chalk. Shape lends itself to box game storageHelpful Reply

Orchidmg on Apr 21, 2015I picture removing the door and turning it into a mini wine/bar stand. Store bottles of wine inside on their sides, might want to buy a wine rack and remove the shelf. And varnish the wood. Put a pieces of clear glass on top or paint the top to look like light marble. And use that to put glasses, a serving tray, some condiments when you have friends over.Helpful Reply

Kayo Frazier on Apr 21, 2015Here's my 2 cents...If this octogon(I think?) shaped cabinet is MDF...Paint it white inside & outside. Get THIS! fromhttp://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/indian-inlay-stencil-furniture.html Paint stencils any way you want. If this is real wood, sand down to bare wood, then RE-stain it in a deep dark cherry stain. Add the stencils any way you want...USE white paint.Helpful Reply

Vicki Rogers on Apr 21, 2015@Kitchen Kelli It would make a cute little outdoor fire pit, you'd have to use that cement board stuff though. The door is already there to hold a small propane tank. Just a thought. :)Helpful Reply

Carole on Apr 21, 2015Do you have pets? Cat retreat or dog bed with the shelves taken out of it and a cushion in there. You could also add a scratching post to the top for height and of course - claw sharpening.Helpful Reply

Eugenia Read on Apr 22, 2015Here's an idea! Make hanging rack(s) for your wine glasses, maybe re-sand it and varnish or paint it to suit your decor, change door to glass, mount it in the upper corner. You now have a lovely display case for your fine crystal wine glasses. If you don't drink alcoholic beverages, maybe store your china set in it.Helpful Reply

Sue Sanders on Sep 03, 2015I would paint it and put a new marble top on and put in a corner as my coffee bar. Add roll out shelves to hold creamer, sugar, cups and the different flavored coffee containers for my coffee pot.Helpful Reply
