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.
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!
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.
Fabulous link, I’m off to check it out. That baking station is to die for!
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.
Wow those are really good ideas. Very creative!! I love it for kitchen space.
Drool. Me likey
That first one is so cute! I wonder how you would get started on a project like this… Hmmm!
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!
Oh. My. Gosh. Thanks for the link! This stuff is BRILLIANT.
If only I had more space for furniture I’d do at least 2 of these…
great find, thanks for sharing
Wow. I am in love with the way it’s all so organized…!!!
*drool*
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!
