Old garage cabinet redo for less than $30

by Adrea Montgomery

My husband said I could never pull it off!
An old cabinet in the garage with critters, nail and screw holes, grease, typical garage findings all over it but with some elbow grease, leftover stain and paint, salvaged wood (the countertop), 2 pieces of glass and painted some hardware I already had, I brought it back to life and loving the extra storage. Not to mention my hubby doesn't underestimate his woman anymore!

Stunning! I have now found my inspiration for my "basement cabinet/kitchen". This looks fantastic!

Thank you! Believe me! I know the feeling of throwing stuff out to later regret! Especially after this cabinet redo!
