One-of-a Kind, Creative,Unique Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinetry for most of us is an expensive headache to choose
and install. But we LIVE in our kitchens. A lot of do more than cook and socialize in there. We keep reminder notes, pay bills, take medicines, store receipts....basically our whole lives can be in there. 
So make your life beautiful!





















This is the most FUN cabinet ever. Who would put a whole kitchen counter in a cabinet - er - pod?

It may seem superficial, but for something so superficial, that kitchen design makes a HUGE difference in setting a background mood for everyday life: creating a usuable and pleasing environment MATTERS>

Silo - Dumpster - Wood - Rope Luxury Home!

Ok, so if you have a spare silo, an extra dumpster or two, some rope and some wood...well, I'd say you are well on your way to a wisely resourced, very cool style
  • take the Silo - and a grain bin, if you have that too) and make it a house. 
  • Forgo the granite for the cooler and gorgeous aluminum shavings-countertops.
  • Don't forget to add storage. 
  • Perhaps clean out one dumpster and re-fit it as a guest suite for the in-laws. 
  • Take the other dumpster and convert that into a pool. The kids will Love it. 
  • Don't forget to put a rope swing out there too.
  • then add a special touch...
but see for yourself

Converted Silo and Grain Bin 
(I spy wooden ceiling beams inside):

Aluminum shavings outshine granite in the kitchen:


Inside, you might add some rustic bathroom storage:


A house ( "guest suite?") made out of a dumpster:


This takes the "dumpster diving" concept to a whole new level. 
But don't. Not deep enough!




  Hmmm....maybe a very large dumpster and some potted plants...


Tree swing...

And the final touch: a pretty flower in an old tin can, 
hung onto the knob of that old recycled door:

VOILA! :
Recycled Elegance.

Have a great day!
