Wall Cabinet | Craft Storage | Repurposed Doors
I’ve been working my way through the free furniture I got earlier this year. You may remember the awesome dresser bench I made last week. By parting out the dresser I was left with two louvered dresser doors. They were used in this easy project to make a wall cabinet great for craft storage!
Storage Bench Made From A Dresser

Coffee Station Cabinet | repurposed door and dresser
I recently got a free dresser (I call the tall pieces chest of drawers, but most people call them dressers). The piece had a lot of damage on the bottom, after cutting off the damaged portion, it was shorter, and seemed the perfect size to make a coffee station cabinet. A step by step tutorial is just waiting for you on the blog.
Modified Dresser | Navy and dark stain

Chest of Drawers Bookshelf
Wow! do you remember that ugly chest of drawers I got from my friend Cathy? It was in very rough shape and had been mistreated terribly. The very first thing I did was grab my Ryobi orbital sander and some 80 grit sandpaper to deal with the top of the chest of drawers.

dresser to Bench
You know I love a good bench, whether it’s made from a bed (headboard) dresser to bench, or chest of drawers. This reproduction French Provincial dresser was in really bad shape.
