Kitchen Furniture

Over the past several weeks, I've been (slowly) building the final pieces of furniture we need to finish the kitchen.

Everything is, of course, made from...wait for it...recycled materials from other projects.

Dog stuff area:

Table top and legs are materials from The Big Project, shelves are made from pieces of the original kitchen cabinets.

Thing for towels and the dish drain:

The top is a spare part from an Ikea cabinet, the bottom is one of the old kitchen cabinets (I'll paint it when the weather gets nicer).

Silverware and utensil drawers:

Chest of drawers is a nice piece of furniture AJ found on the sidewalk. I built the stand it's sitting on out of pieces of the original kitchen cabinets.

Main cooking area:


I built the table on the left from materials left over from The Big Project. The cutting board on top of the wheeled cart on the right was actually part of the original kitchen cabinets -- I just refinished it and attached a collar to make it sit snugly on top of the cart.

A few final touches (mostly paint) when the weather warms up, and the kitchen will be 100% finished.

Next project: now that the concrete wall has been replaced, we can get the yard back in shape!
