9. A DIY Wall Cabinet from Liveprettyonapenny
Got a big, bland wall in your place? Imagine turning that into a stylish, functional cabinet space. Here’s a juicy secret: you can DIY it in just four days. Start with measuring your space; if it’s around 89 inches, you’re golden. Grab:
- Four 30x30x12 inch unfinished cabinets.
- Two 24x30x12 inch cabinets.
- A few trimmings and bins for aesthetics.
Lay your foundations with 2x4s, making sure they’re 12 inches deep. Stack those cabinets, securing each row. Now, for the magic touch: hide those gaps using lattice strips and fluted door casing. Once you’ve got everything locked and loaded, seal seams with caulk. Let it dry overnight. Swipe on your paint color (maybe Behr’s “Intrigue”?). Finish with some flashy handles, and boom: your very own DIY Wall of Cabinets. Remember, it’s all in the details. Now, step back and give yourself a high-five! You’ve just nailed a masterpiece.
