Reusing "K"itchen Cabinets in the A to Z Challenge



Are you planning a Kitchen remodel anytime soon? I know your're tired of those cabinets and they don't have to stay in the kitchen or even in one piece but don't throw them away! Remodeling not in your future or budget, never fear your local Habitat Restore often has cabinets and cabinet pieces you can pick up for a great price.

So you've remodeled and you decide an island would be a great idea but it's outside of your budget?
Just reuse some of the cabinets you are replacing!
we made a new kitchen island  with inexpensive thrifted cabinets.
At Charlotte's House took a used Cabinet and created this awesome Island. 

Don't need an island? How about some seating? Seating is always a need somewhere.

My Repurposed Life Recycled this Cabinet and with a couple of other recycled items she made a bench with storage. Storage another thing I'm always needing.  And it's not all just for small cabinets either, this larger upper cabinet makes a nice storage cabinet for a craft or kids room, or how about a  media center. The ideas are endless and cheap.

It's not all about the cabinets themselves, if you are just doing a quick update by replacing the doors, don't throw away the old ones, They can be reused by themselves. Our local Habitat sells doors for $3.00 to 5.00 each, if you aren't updating now. Use them to make a tray for breakfast in bed, shelving or a chalkboard to help organize all of those ideas you've seen during the A to Z Challenge! Both ideas don't take much money or much time and would be fun for a kids weekend project. Check these two ideas out and try them at your house this weekend!

And last but not least how about those drawers? Can't leave them out. Add some wheels an you have great underbed storage, ( I did mention I always need storage, right) or turn them into a cabinet like My Love to Create  for your special items. How cute is this?

So now we've found a use for lots of kitchen ideas or ideas for your kitchen,which ever way you want to look at it, but for tomorrow I'll be bringing an outside item in. Check back on Friday to see what it will be.
Thanks for following along with Blogging from A to Z this April, where were are using the alphabet in a whole new way! See you tomorrow!
