This project is the coolest. The laundry room was a sad sack of disorganization, open cabinets (who took off the doors??) and no surface to work on. The dog food sat in its' bag in between the washer and dryer. Here's a video of the makeover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIi2Ay2vXEE
Used Ana's tut on making raised panel doors, and purchased tiny trim moulding to fancy it up. I also routered the edges to give detail. I LOVE these doors! I created the dog food pull out bin to match it all so the food is concealed. In hindsight, I should've sprung for better bigger wheels because we have 50 lbs of food in there and it's a little difficult to pull out when filled all the way. It's just a cardboard box lined with a trash bag and painted white on the outside.
Table top was made from plywood and scraps. It's more useful than I thought. Very nice to have a solid surface to put stuff on. Routered the edge of the plywood for a more finished look, though I'm not sure that's wise with plywood. I love that the cabinets are now closed and I painted the room so it looked more fiished. Yay for $75 room makeovers!

LOVE THIS!
I have a twin head and foot board I got at Savers (thrift store) a few months ago to do just this. Just have to get my other projects out of the way (and out of the hubby's way as well) first. Great job!

Nice!
I also have this type of project on my TTB list, using an old waterfall style bed frame. I already cut it apart and everything. Seeing how well your's turned out might just give me that little push I need to get mine finished. Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE IT!
This turned out great. I did my first curbside stop and pulled an old crib out of someone's trash pile last summer. I just happened to be borrowing my mom's truck at the time...If I owned a truck, there would be no stopping my hoarding! Your bench turned out excellent. I plan on making mine a bench too. My husband has been complaining about the old crib leaning against the house in the driveway for a while now. Yep, better get started.
