Ever since, I would always stare at the space above the wood box and think of things I could incorporate to make it more functional.

Shelves always came to mind but I wanted something closed in to hide the ugly items like lighters and maintenance items.

I came up with purchasing a used upper kitchen cabinets and building shelves off of that. It’s the best of both!

I scored this one at the ReStore for $10!

I primed it first to make it easier and hung it up.

I ended up purchasing 3 – 1x12s and some thin trim to frame it out.

I attached the board to the top and bottom and then added the side piece and shelf.

To finish it off I added trim all around and painted the whole thing simply white.

It's now pretty and functional too!
