This is what my husband made for me this weekend: more storage space.
The project started because we stored some paper towels in the garage and when we ripped one roll open we noticed the first couple of sheets were covered in dust. We found the cabinet doors through Freecycle and my husband bought brackets and shelving at the local hardware store. We had plywood from old projects.
The shelves for the cabinet below were already there, he just added the side panels and the doors to it. That is “his” storage though.
Overall the cost of the project was $100 but with it, we now have added a lot of storage room. My husband also created a safe place to store his garden products out of our children’s reach. I have also emptied the area underneath the kitchen sink of cleaning supplies and it has made the garage more organized.
Now I don’t have to worry about things getting dusty, or the garage looking messy because it is all put away behind cabinet doors. But for now, the left side of my storage area is all empty, so imagine the possibilities!

That’s sooo cool! I am going to have to inspire my husband to do the same!
awesome deal. i love our local freecycle. so many great deals to reuse
Yes, hubby really out did himself this time. Ok, not quite he also installed our fence two years ago and that was quite a big job.
I love freecycle but I have to say you have to act quick because as soon as something is posted someone claims it.
That looks great! He did a good job.
we built an additional shelf in our “cozy” laundry room. it’s three rolls of paper towels from the ceiling and eight or nine rolls across. i love it!
