    A reclaimed window and other scrap pieces of wood are combined to make a tall window cabinet for displaying items in your home decor. Step by step directions with lots of tips! #MyRepurposedLife #repurposed #window #tall #floor #cabinet #project #homedecor via @repurposedlife

    I love making window cabinets. However, I have never made a DIY tall Window Cabinet, so I thought it was time to make one. I’ve made window cabinets that hang on the wall, and window cabinets that use two windows. You can see some of my window projects at the bottom of this post. So if you are looking for inspiration, hopefully you will find something you like.

    Now on to today’s DIY Tall Window Cabinet project. . .

     

    components to make a diy tall window cabinetI have had several matching windows for a couple of years, so I thought it would be okay to split them up and use one for this project. The other boards I’m using are from a hutch that I got from my cousin. It was so large, and took up a lot of space in the garage, so I dismantled it last year and stored the large pieces of shelving.

    I had to do some more dismantling before I could start building the tall window cabinet.

     

    homeright-brand-ambassador-sponsored-post

     

    trim-window-frameWindows are a little funny in that they are set on an angle. After I removed the weather stripping and hardware, I put it on the table saw to straighten it up.

    Building a DIY Tall Window Cabinet

    diy tall window cabinet design phaseI ripped some 1x’s to make a front facing to frame the window.

     

     

    kreg-jig-window-cupboardThis entire cabinet was constructed using Kreg pocket holes using my K4. I attached the sides to the front facing. I remembered to drill some holes pointing upward in order to attach the top of the cabinet.

     

    Adding shelves to Tall Window Cabinet

    attaching-shelves-cupboardAfter attaching the top, I laid the tall window cabinet down on my work table and got busy adding the shelves—again with pocket holes. Besides the top and the bottom, there are two stationary shelves and one removable shelf. The removable shelf is held in place by cleats. I used a speed square all along the way to make sure everything was square.

    Although the window is not yet attached, I used it (look under the shelves) to make sure my shelves line up with the window panes.

    I didn’t have enough wood from the hutch, so I used some of the inexpensive squares I got from the Peddler’s Mall.

    It's a good idea to do a test fit

    dry-fit-tall-window-cupboardI quickly placed the window in the cabinet to make sure it was all coming together as planned. While I was designing the tall window cabinet, I made sure to cut the shelves at a depth that would allow my window to sit flush against the facing. (another good reason to put the window in place while adding my shelves.

     

     

    add-trimI added some inexpensive trim

    You can see that I used plywood for the top, and it has a raw edge.

     

    How to cover up a plywood edge

    add-edge-bandingNot a problem, I had some ¾ edge banding to take care of that. I used some scrap paper, and that little triangle of wood to burnish it. Not shown, I used a Quad Trimmer to make the edge banding flush. The plywood was ½” and the edge banding is ¾”.

     

    ready-for-paint-finish-maxTime for paint! I laid the tall window cabinet down, resting it on some scrap 2x2’s to keep it off the drop cloth. I always begin painting with the underneath side.

    Time to paint with the Finish Max

    finish-max-diy-chalky-primerOf course I mixed up a batch of my favorite diy chalky paint primer. Look at my shiny new Finish Max from Homeright!

    How to strain paint

    strain-diy-chalky-paint-primer-finish-maxI always strain my paint into my paint cup using a mesh strainer.

     

    strain-paint-finish-maxThis is how I squeeze out the strainer to make sure I don’t waste a lot of paint. I always put the strainer right into a small bucket of water. I’ve been reusing the same strainer for a long, long, time.

     

    foam-splash-guard-finish-maxYou can see I have my foam splash guard in place to keep the air holes clear.

     

    finish-max-tall-cupboardYay! I’m ready to paint the tall window cabinet. You can see that I have the removable shelf leaning there so I can paint it.

     

    Easy paint spraying tips

    finish-max-diy-chalky-paint-primer-belugaAfter spraying it laying down, I set it up and gave it 2 coats of the chalky paint primer. I love how quickly and easily it is to paint any piece of furniture with my Finish Max! Look closely at the drop cloth, there is no visible sign of where I painted the cabinet while laying down. I rarely change the paint flow (twisting the little knob) but, I change the spray pattern over and over again while I paint depending on what I’m painting. Using a horizontal pattern while doing the front left and right sides, would be counter productive. I did however use the horizontal pattern while painting the wide sides.

    After the Beluga (black) dried, I did a wash—using a cheap chip brush with some Polished Pearl. I had to work sort of quickly to get it on, and wipe some off, so no pictures of the process. I was a painted mess!

     

    tall-cupboardThis was the result.

    What kind of back to use for shelving unit

    tall-rustic-cupboardAfter sleeping on it and getting a fresh start the next day, I attached some reclaimed fencing that I had stained. I typically use the fencing “as is” in a grey weathered look—but I wanted this to have a different look.

     

    Does the cabinet need a door?

     

    MyRepurposedLife tall diy window cabinet bookshelfSo, I styled the tile window cabinet to see how it was going to look. I was floating around working on some other projects, and the day ended without the door (window). Honestly,  I was really on the fence about even adding the window.

     

    spray-paint-hardwareThis is the hardware I bought for the window. It’s too shiny to suit me. I went with the same color scheme as I did for the cabinet—black with a whitewash.

     

    white-washed-hardwareI think the hardware turned out well, don’t you? A side note about the window. I did several things to it that I didn’t take pictures of. I stained it with a hickory first, too brown. Then I went with some dark walnut. I liked the color okay, but it had too much shine to it. I grabbed some sandpaper to knock off the shine.

     

     

    my-repurposed-life-tall-white-washed-window-cupboardI’m still not loving it with the window, but since I designed the entire piece around the window I feel like I should use it.

    Do you love the tall window cabinet?

    My-Repurposed-Life-white-washed- tall-diy-window-cabinet



    My favorite part is how the shelves line up with the panes. If you ever make a tall window cabinet I suggest you make sure you do that. My-Repurposed-Life-diy-window-floor-cabinetA small peak inside. What do you think? Yes or no to the window (door)? Do you love or hate the color combination? I think all my friends out there (you know who you are) realize how much I struggle with paint choices. It can make or break a project.

      I just replaced all the windows in my 1928 home and I was planning to use two of the original windows to build a tall linen cabinet similar to yours.
      I LOVE the window door but I’m not real set on the two different finishes?
      Thank you for the great tutorial!! I can’t wait to build one!

      I love how these projects turned out, fact is I have about six window sashes/panes in my basement that my landlord keeps reminding me to do something with when she visits and my husband and I have been searching for things to make with them. The home right painter will come in handy for that. What he doesn't know is that bamboo headboard I walked up the street carrying last fall is that he is going to make me the most incredible bench out of as well, so if I don't win it's ok well have to paint by hand, (Ughhh, then he'll really love me!! ) lol. GL to all the lovely women and men who may have entered as well. Xo

I have been researching paint sprayers for diy and have decided this is the best one. Thank you

        It's hard to say. Some paint is thinner than others. I'm assuming it's an oil based paint? If you do thin it, I would use lacquer thinner. You could use the viscosity cup according to the Homeright recommendations. 🙂 I've never used it because I've done so much painting, I have a good feel for it.
        Generally if paint isn't flowing, it's too thick. If the paint runs, it's too thin.

        good luck, have fun with your project!

It took weeks to finish. I used my home right and in 4 hours we finishe the oust side and used half the amount of stain. You were so right about the sprayer and I got the cleaning attachment. It's a breeze to use and clean. Thanks for letting be be the Diyer I used to be. It's such a great feeling to watch a project change.

      You did a beautiful job making the cabinet, but I'm afraid I don't care for the color combination. I agree that picking the colors for projects is very difficult. I am ready to start work on a night stand/end table and the Finish Max would save so much time and also I would be much more satisfied with the finish. Thanks for all the education you provide.

      Weeeellllll I don't like the color combo. I like the window on it (a lot!) One of your pictured projects has the combo of white and brown, but this just doesn't work. I liked it black, but maybe the black wouldn't work with the brown door. I love the yellow with the white door, but then you would have to start over!!! Maybe give it another coat of white...
      I would love the sprayer because I could make my own colors of paint!!!

      Thanks for all the step-by-step instructions and tool recommendations. Could really use that sprayer as I have many rooms to paint and a deck too!

      I love your window projects and wouldn't change a thing. I often struggle with the color choices for my pieces too. It's always the most difficult part of my projects - color!
      I have never tried a paint sprayer but would love to give it a whirl. I own a small shop in NC where I have vendors that sell their items. I re purpose many furniture pieces for the shop and my own enjoyment!

      Love how your cabinet turned out! I have been wanting to paint my kitchen cabinets, if I were to win that is the project I would tackle.

      Gail; not crazy about the dark against light in this case; loved the other cabinets. I would have had a magnetic lock and maybe a little glass door knob. would love the sprayer because I have to stain my deck and my fence surrounding the yard. I have been putting it off and would like to do it in the fall. wish u lived near me; I would come over and help you do projects. I think I would enjoy your company.

      thank you,

      Hi Gail! I have so many things that need paint, but the first project will be my kitchen island, which I am rebuilding. Can't wait! Chris

      Hi Gail!, Wow, I would paint the window too. I like it... maybe hung from the left rather than the right... and painted. I adore your window projects. I would love to paint my sewing table with the Finish Max! I'll have to scuff it up a bit but with the Finish Max and some chalk paint... it'll be a slam dunk! Thanks for the inspiration AND the opportunity! 🙂

      I love it without the window. The rustic look of the fencing back is spot on!!! But when you add the window it becomes too dark. I love what you did with the color of the window I just think it would look better on one with a light backing.

      I would love to use the Finish Max to pain the retro hutch my mother gave me years ago. Also, you asked about the paint choice for this window cabinet. I really like the use of the window in it, but not crazy about the paint color. I like the off white color in the pictures of the other projects you showed at the bottom of the post. You are so creative and I love your ideas.

      Have always wanted a spray painter but have been wary of purchasing one. Seems like they all clog up or spit out globs and decided it was easier to control the end product with a paint brush. Your endorsement of the Finish Max makes me want to get one of my own and give it a try.

      Have a storage unit full of chairs waiting for a beautiful finish! Thanks for this opportunity.

      Love the cabinet! I can think of endless projects I would use the paint sprayer with! First would be the outdoor side table I'm building now. Next would be the shelving I'm building for living room, beside tables, dining room chairs... and on and on ? ?

      I am getting ready to build a kitchen island / bar for a friend with a repurposed dresser as the base. I'm adding barn wood to the back and sides but will need to paint the front with the drawers and a Homeright Finish Max would definitely come in handy with my painting on this project and many more.

      Gail... I LOVE your cabinet just the way it turned out! Such a cool design, especially with the panes matching up to the shelves. Bravo! I know you love your Finish Max, I have a new one I'm using next week for a project, I can't wait to break it out!

      Are you kidding me?! I have so many projects to do from A. curbside treasures to B. Rescuing and C.Rescuing from thrift stores.
      I have so many ideas swirling around in my head, and new ideas from reading your blog ... I want to tackle them all, but painting is such a horrendous hurdle for me to overcome (fibro gal here) that winning a sprayer would be such an answer to my dilemmas! And bring back such repurpose to my pieces! Thanks!

      What a fun tool! If love to have one to use on my dining table, a sofa table I got for free, and an ugly little cabinet/side table that I know will be interesting in another color! So many projects, so little time. 🙂

      I like the shelf you made with and without the door both. Maybe you'd like it more if the widow matched the body or if it had a pop of color...like a matte turquoise. Just a thought. 🙂

      I agree I think this particular cabinet looks best without the window door.

      We could use the finish max about now. We have gone thru other spray paint machines and are not having mich luck in our repurposing business. Your help would be appreciated!

      Impressive job! It looks really classy w/ the shelves lined up with the window whatsits. (I know they have e name but it's 3:30 am and my brain is not working well)

      A cabinet my late husband made for me does not have its parts lined up so well. Maybe you've started something---
      f might try to remedy that.

      If I had a Homeright Finish Max i'd finally get the guts to paint a large round coffee/cocktail table for my living room. I'd like it to be a showpiece with a really smooth paint job under the glass top. I've been putting this one off for about a year now and must do something soon or give it up........
