Incredible Storage Cabinet Makeovers

December 2, 2008 By Dusty Rogers 18 Comments

You have to check out this Better Homes & Gardens Unfinished Storage Cabinet Makeovers slideshow–I stumbled across it one day and I’m in love! It’s amazing what you can do with a little innovation and a whole lot of imagination. Here’s just a sampling of ways they’ve turned armoires, cabinets, and cupboards into pieces that more than pull their weight around the house:

This antique armoire was repurposed as a Baking Center even Betty Crocker would envy. With plenty of shelving for utensils and ingredients, cork board on one door to hold recipes, and a magnetic chalkboard on the other for your shopping list–this little number doesn’t mess around! Not to mention the lower drawer which offers vertical storage (my favorite kind!) for baking pans.

Make Martha proud with this do-it-all Craft Cubby! Is it a printer compartment or fabric storage? A slide-out keyboard tray or the perfect spot for rolls of wrapping paper? And how ’bout them doors?? Cup hooks inserted into cork squares (which are glued to the door panels) keep crafting supplies easily at hand. On the other door, metal sheets and magnetic clips hold a calendar and greeting cards. And my favorite part–paper towel holders mounted to the door are perfect for holding spools of string and ribbon!


This custom-made Snack Center from Thomasville Cabinetry stores all sorts of drinks and snacks. The right side of the cabinet even features a cereal station and recycling bins!

And my personal favorite–this media center armoire turned Drink Bar! Shelves originally meant for a VCR or DVD player now hold cocktail glasses. A towel bar shelf screwed to the back makes use of vertical space. And hooks mounted to the door keeps bar tools and supplies handy. And I love the pull-out keyboard tray used as a mixing area–so clever!


These are just a few of my favorites–CLICK HERE to see the rest of the amazing makeovers (including additional pictures of the units above) that Better Homes & Gardens has to offer!

    Oh my. I’m in love- especially with the baking & craft solutions. I daydream about having a killer crafting armoire/secretary/cabinet.

    Stunning! I love the cabinet that doubles as a pantry! Beautiful piece and you would never guess that it has the storage that it does!

    Thanks!

    OMG, what fabulous ideas! The wheels are turning trying to figure out what furniture pieces I could convert and how desperately I need an office-style drink bar!

    Great find!

    While that craft cabinet is freaking awesome, something tells me that the liquor cabinet would get a lot more use in my house.

    nice post – you are so crafty like that – to be able to read my mind! I totally would love to convert a piece into a center for when snack attacks strike!

    I saw that the other day. I loved the cooking area. That is so cool. I don’t bake enough (or have enough room in my tiny kitchen) to have it, but I would love to have everything at my fingertips.

    I want the craft one, I have craft supplies all over my house and never now where to put the scraps and other misc. stuff, this is such a great idea.

    I love the idea of using a piece of furniture as a pantry — especially since I don’t have a pantry and I certainly don’t have enough dishes to fill up our hutch! :hm

    I adore you – thanks for the long comment :). I also adore the wine bar idea – but we’ve already established that you don’t (and most of the time I don’t either) have a wine surplus laying around, so what would we do? I think I’d have to store empty bottles to make it look good. Hmm. I’m stumped.

    Thanks so much–this is a great article. I love the sewing center idea, as I’ve been trying to figure out how to get my machine into our office space without making it look like a craft room.

    I only wish BHG wasn’t so annoying with their multiple pop-up ads! UGH!

    Love love love the drink bar – you love wine almost as much as me and my man and I have an entertainment cabinet that I’ve been wondering what to do with. Love it!
