Recycled Cabinet

    I have been recycling and reusing things a lot lately. We recently took out an upper cabinet from our kitchen to open the space. I wasn't sure what to do with it, so I have been tripping on it for quite some time. At the same time I have been trying to rearrange and organize things around the house. Then I found the perfect marriage. I have a cubby from Target that has been used to store shoes in my room but I hate seeing the shoes, so I focused on that.

    The cabinet I took down is 3 ft long and 1 ft deep. I measured the cubby and got the same measurements. Yay! A winner! I decided to stack them. It works out wonderfully. I can now keep the shoes hidden behind doors in the cabinet, and use the cubbies for storage and display. Some of the squares are open in the back so I taped a piece of scrapbook paper that looks like tile to the back. Later I will paint or stain all to match.
