My New Cupboard

In this house storage space is at a premium. So we had a brainwave on where to put a cupboard. Above the bathroom door would be a great place. Now we are not going to go out and buy a cupboard, no that’s to simple. We are goi9ng to make it out of reclaimed wood.SV203252

This wood!

Ok I know it looks grotty and all that but this is what we are using.

Oh and from these pictures you might just notice that our bathroom does not have a door. That is another project for later.

Now we have a cupboard with some very useable storage space. Now let’s see what will I fill it with????????????

Very nice! It's amazing how "stuff" always grows to fill the space. You won't have any problem filling your new space.

Looks like a great place to very neatly stack a whole lot of fabric!

Great idea, space is premium in here too. You tend to use every inch for a double purpose.

It depends on how big your spiders are as to how much your going to be able to reclaim x x x

Great idea! I think it's smart to use areas over doors or windows for something even if it's only a shelf for display. Love the color you painted the cabinet.

Very clever - you can never have too much storage space though it never stays empty for long!
