Salvaged Kitchen Cabinet Remodel

Here's what we did with the old kitchen cabinets 

that we got from my niece Chris's kitchen remodel.

Here's what we started with.

 We used the upper cabinets because they are
only 12 inches deep.

 We were lucky to have enough to fill the space
 under the bar counter. It's 9 feet 4 inches long.

 We removed the fabric liner.

 We removed the doors to paint.

They had chicken wire. How lucky was that? 

We have used chicken wire in the
 kitchen dish pantry (HERE).

Larry built a base to match the one under the cabinets in the kitchen. 

That left an odd space between the
cabinets and the counter.

I sketched out cubbies and Larry built three boxes.

We needed to finish the sides.

I wanted beadboard to match what we did on the 

kitchen island remodel (HERE).

Beadboard installed and wood trim added.

That led to adding the same beadboard/trim treatment

 to the end of the adjacent lower kitchen cabinet too.

The cubbies are in and everything gets another coat of Cloud White paint.

I couldn't wait and started to load one of the cabinets.

Larry said that he hasn't issued my 

certificate of occupancy yet!

Finally finished and loaded!

It's great to have more of my dishes close to the breakfast table.

I think I'll add fabric liners to the doors. 

Larry thought I could even change it with the

 seasons or for Christmas.

Whoa! He's been living with me too long!

You can see the chicken wire on the 

dish pantry in the kitchen.

I think the kitchen has gone to the chickens!

Here's the view to the breakfast area and
 out to the patio.

View from the breakfast table into the kitchen.

We thought we were done when I thought
 that the legs we had recently added to the
kitchen island (HERE) 

would look good under the cabinets. 

So Larry cut a few legs, painted and installed them. 

I think it grounds the cabinets and makes it look more like built-ins.

 Here's the space before the cabinets.

We rarely used the bar stools. 

We sold them on Craig's List.

It more than paid for the wood and paint we used

making this another no cost project we MAY'd!

Cheers!

We had another cabinet we repurposed for our van (HERE).
