My $5 Cabinet Project

march 10 028 

I had this guy.  I didn’t really like and it, and on a whim, sold it on Craigslist for $30.  It sold in 1/2 hour, so I ended up putting the TV on an ottoman for a week until I could find a replacement.

Grant thinks I am crazy.  He rolls his eyes while I have my fun. 

I like him for that. 

Anyway, 

Then I found this next guy, for $5.  He needed some work, but I liked his lines.

  And I turned him into this guy:

I am much happier.  And I turned a profit.

  5. I love seeing reworked furniture. GREAT job! It's seeing the inner beauty and then letting it out. I recently did that with a hutch I found for $25.00.
