Nothing new in hunting.....how about home improvement?

As found

As some of you that know me know, I always need a project.  This spring I decided to improve the storage capacity of our mud/laundry room by adding some cabinets to the bare logs.  The first step was finding just the right style of vintage, slightly beat up, rustic and inexpensive cabinet.  I found it at a complete junk show of a yard sale just down the street.  As I was looking through the dead hoarders junk on display I asked the nice lady holding the sale if she had any cabinets.  She did.  They were in the basement of the house and it was slated to be torn down.  If I was to remove them myself I could have them for a mere $50.  Done deal.  I carefully tore them out of the basement and took all the shelving and 1950's lumber I could.  You just don't find this kind of lumber at the Home Depot, it's solid and strong.  The 2x4's have a heft nothing like the lumber nowadays. 

Above the other door too

My plan was to reconstruct the cabinetry so that it fit my space and I started with making shelves and getting them in place.  After that I built the cabinets around them using most, but not all of the originals from my pile.  (Some of the cabinet doors are left over and will be added to the shed in an upcoming project.)  A litte paint and some ingenious hardware choices inspired by my Sweetie and you have the new laundry room storage you see here.  The cost of the entire project was just about $100 and took a few days.  Bam!  With the shelving left over I plan to make a nice folding table.  That's right, folding.  Like, laundry folding.  Not that other kind.  The real kind of folding that will occur this fall when the H7HT takes to the blind.  Soon.
