Vintage Cupboards as Kitchen Units
Using vintage cupboards as kitchen units makes a lot of sense on many levels: cost saving, eco-friendly, individual, high quality, dramatic, etc.
I'm going to create a freestanding kitchen and mostly use vintage cupboards that I will revamp. Vintage cupboards can be picked up for next to nothing, are often made of solid wood, have lovely decorative features and can help to create a unique look on the tightest of budgets.
There is no rest for the wicket at the weekend but there is a little help from my daughter. She is lightly sanding a vintage cabinet picked up for £20. I've removed the legs as it's going to be a wall unit holding small crockery. I've already put one coat of cream paint onto it and think the second coat will be spring green, finished off with a light touch of hand applied warm gold to the edges.
There is no design in mind....this kitchen is just going to develop bit by bit.
