Our main warehouse has a LOT of what we call “Boneyard” cabinets. For many different reasons (none of them my fault), these cabinet just sit around taking up space until someone comes along and buys them for their garage, laundry, hobbyroom, workshop, etc. From time to time we will have a huge cabinet sale, and you really can’t beat the deal you can get on these cabinets!

But most people don’t realize the cool stuff you can do with cabinets. They see a cabinet and think “kitchen” I see a cabinet and think “furniture”!

Here is a project I worked on over the weekend to jazz up my entryway for a superbowl party!

Step 1: Buy some cabinets from The Cabinet Guy for a ridiculously good deal…

Step 2: Relieve your 401k looking more like a 201k frustrations by abusing new cabinets with sandpaper. Breathe deeply. Now close your eyes and imagine you are that guy on PBS with the Fro that paints the “Happy Trees” pictures. While keeping your eyes closed, dip your your brush into the paint and make some magic happen.

Step3:Attach cabinets together with the fastening device of your choice (preferably screws), build countertop with MDF shelf from Big Box store of your choice (preferably Lowes), and finish your painting (preferably with eyes open)

Step4: ( Note: many items in step 4 can be avoided if you think ahead) Level cabinets on wall, yell to your beautiful Fiance’ to bring drill in from outside, ask beautiful Fiance’ to hold cabinets in place while you run around looking for your masonry drill bits, assure beautiful Fiance’ you have almost found them as she yells “These things are getting heavy!”, wonder if beautiful Fiance’ is having second thoughts about her future unorganized husband, find drill bits, attach to wall, kiss beautiful Fiance’.

Step 5: Have Beautiful Fiance’ decorate your new work of cabinet art!

Step 6: Have friends OOOOOhhh and AAAAhhhh at the sweet creation that YOU made!

Buckhead Church has a sweet new website everyone should check out! The old one did have some elements of lameness “unless your the designer of the old site and you want some cabinets, in that case the old site was the coolest site EVER”…but this one rocks and provides a much more engaging web experience!

To celebrate the launching of the new site, I’m gonna offer a sweet deal of a Cabinet Sale! Anyone who takes the new site for a test drive and tells me their favorite thing about it can be eligible for the following sweet deals on any order placed in February! Anyone who can show me a program from a February Service can get 5% off any order placed in February! If anyone brings a friend “or even if you qualify yourself” that has either NEVER BEEN TO CHURCH or used to goto church and quit going because they got nothing out of it and writes me an Email about their experience, can get an extra 10% off any order placed in February! If you bring MULTIPLE friends that qualify… you get Andy Stanley pricing!
