See that upper cabinet? Well it was removed to make way for more functional cafe shelving. But I held on to it because I had big plans to transform the narrow upper cabinet into a sofa table!
I added legs some curvy legs for height...
...and trimmed out the top with moulding for a finished look.
After some spray paint inside and out and a few accessories she's good to go!
And I'm not done with my laundry room castoffs just yet. I have one or two more projects in mind for the cabinet doors!
You can also see how I reused the laundry room drawers here.
Thanks for visiting!

Love this project, and would like to do something similar for my living room. Was it originally two upper cabinets that you joined together? If so, how did you attach the two so that it didn't sag in the middle? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat project- you've inspired me to check out some old cabinets in my garage to see if I can turn them into a bookshelf. Where did you come up with (find) those lovely legs?
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Love the new color combo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteHow clever and I love the yellow color! Where did you get the legs? I am another DC-area blogger, stop by if you get a chance!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an awesome idea. It turned out great!! Love how you painted the inside a different color. And you could switch it to suit your changing decor. Very nice. I'm visiting from TDC.
