It has been tough to truly finish moving into our new home and get every space situated just perfect. I have boxes with books, piles of cables and magazines I still want to peel out the some of the good pages.

I enjoy the simple Saturday mornings going with my wife to the thrift store in our new area. Open 9 to noon, we have to get up and start the day. Yesterday I had an idea… a corner cabinet out of a door… seems simple… and I should be able to clean, cut, glue and paint it all in one Sunday morning.

Since the back will be against the wall and the detail will limit where shelves can be placed I drew out this simple idea/concept.

Here is some photos of the build…

Adding brackets

Shelves

Soaking the wood pieces that will finish the shelves.

A few pictures after it was painted…

I bit of silver paint and a water wash, i used a towel to remove the heave silver color to just add a bit of detail or color to make the detail pop.

$8 for the doors, paint was free (in the house when we bought it) 17 bucks for wood, paint brushes, caulk and long screws… and few hours of time… something I want in my house (not store bought junk) , corner cabinet!
