Getting Creative with Cabinets

Written by ReStore Staff | Jun 7, 2019 2:10:00 PM

Are you thinking about remodeling? Does your cabin need some more storage? Or is your garage feeling a tad cluttered? Well ReStore has you covered! When you shop at ReStore, you can find a variety of new or gently used home improvement items and building materials. This includes kitchen and bathroom cabinets which is a best seller. All shapes and sizes, the ReStore will find them a home. 

Where can I use these cabinets? 

  • Shoppers frequently search for cabinets to use for extra storage and to organize their cluttered spaces, typically in their garages.
  • Add a cabinet to your summer Cabin to use for towels, swim gear, etc.
  • Use kitchen cabinets in your brand new, remodeled kitchen.

 

Upcycling Tip: 

  • Grab a paint brush and give the cabinet a fresh, new look—an old dark stained cabinet can transform into a  modern painted grey cabinet.
  • Re-purpose the cabinet door! Use it as a decorative piece in a room or as a shelving unit. 
  • Remove the shelving in your cabinet to make more space available for larger or bulky items you want to tuck away.
