My project

So our kitchen has pretty much no counter space and our microwave took up the majority of what we do have. So I really wanted to microwave cart to clear up some space and us the empty wall we have. I found one I really loved at TJMaxx but it was $140. I searched far and wide and eventually I found this little ugly duckling at the DI.

Before:


This is Guster enjoying it before I got it all painted up.


After:



I took one of the doors that had been on the bottom and made it be a swing down door. I sanded, primed, drilled, stained, painted and top coated everything myself. I'm very proud of it and it ended up costing me around $40 so I saved a good $100 in the end and I love it so much more!
