Re-purposed Bookshelf

by Susan

4 Materials

I bought a bookcase on wheels from a re-store. It was the perfect size for the space between my kitchen windows.

I needed to paint it to match my kitchen cabinets.

I needed to add some wood pieces to the top and bottom to close the gap for the doors.

I bought wood panels from Home Depot and added moulding to somewhat match my cabinets.

I added the hardware and the doors.

Looking good but still needed a wider top to support the coffee maker.

Stained and polyurethaned another board from Home Depot.

I added the details on the from to complete the look.

Here it is finished and in it's place under another re-store shelf project.

There is no information with your project. I love the dark color on the outside of the bookcase. What brand and color is it?
