Every morning I sit at the computer with a cup of coffee, like a lot of other people in Blogonia
(it's my new cool word, spread it like wildfire)- that by the way, is my favorite movie quote from
Never Been Kissed, because well it's so ridiculous!- I'm searching, looking hard for the next kick A idea. I was doing just that the other morning when I found my next inspiration; drinking coffee and reading
This Old House online. That's when I stumbled upon a great article about re-purposing wall cabinets into window seats- GENIUS! I have a bunch of wall cabinets in the garage left over from our kitchen renovation!
I went to my garage, excited to pull out those wall cabinets and get started. In my mind I imagined the dinning room table pushed up to those window seats and the family sitting down for a meal...how romantic! But it always is, in our heads isn't it? When I pulled the cabinets from the garage, reality set in as I tried to sit on the wall cabinets and instead of feeling like I was in a Louisa May Alcott novel I felt more like Norm from Cheers when I sat tall enough to reach a bar counter and have a beer!
Well, I pulled them out of the garage, I had to do
something with them. Here's just the
something I did.
 |
Look at this Beauty!! |
 |
I removed the door. |
 |
Then I flipped this bad boy upside-down.
|
 |
Sanded up the surface. |
 |
Primed it. |
 |
Painted it grey. |
 |
Cut the center from the cabinet door, then primed, puttied and painted the frame. |
 |
I polyurethaned the table top that I cut and added hinges so that the top flip open for extra storage! |
 |
Screwing in the hinges. |
 |
Attached hinges on the other side of the cabinet door frame. |
 |
I used push pins to put fabric in the frame. Now I can switch it out when I want to change it up a little bit. |
 |
Backside of the door. |
 |
Notice the gap between the fabric. |
 |
I used brown ribbon to cover the gap. |
 |
A wall cabinet happily situated on the floor! |

Be sure the doors and hardware are removed from the cabinets to make them lighter..
