Double Window Cabinet
Hi, there! Iām Gail, the author and mastermind behind My Repurposed Life. Iām obsessed with finding potential in unexpected places and believe that with a little hard work and imagination, any old thing can be made useful againāmyself included! I hope youāll enjoy the journey and pick up a few tools along the way⦠literally!

I love what you do with things, but like you, I have no room for things so I cannot even bring them home. I have no way to sell them but boy oh boy would I like to have an outlet, as I no longer have a job an would love to scout yard sales, thrift stores and other places for cast offs to change into beautiful pieces of repurposed pieces!!!

Hey Gail,
I know you haven't heard from me in a bit but I'm still here even if there is no activity on my blog... I love, love, love your display cabinet!! And the dark walnut stain paired w/ the white is incredible! It reminds me of the cabinetry in Europe. Trust me I know what you mean about being over the honey stain... ugh, and I have a house full of it.
Take care and keep up the good work!

Absolute perfection!!

That display cabinet is beautiful. I love the way you used the old window locks. I'd have a hard time letting that go but you certainly won't have any trouble selling it.
