When you build projects with wood people always try to give you stuff… scraps of wood, termite eaten wood, rotten wood. Some of it’s good, some it… not so good. Unfortunately when it comes to the good stuff I never seem to have room to keep all of those materials in my tiny shop. But when my neighbor Dave replaced my neighbor Tom’s basement windows, Dave asked me if I wanted the old windows… I bellowed YES!What was I going to make with them? I didn’t know, but a cabinet came to mind. Of course I googled “basement window cabinet”. After scrolling and scrolling I found one that was for sale on craigslist. It had a chunky, rustic, farmhouse look to it and I loved it. I loved it so much that I designed a rustic looking cabinet that incorporated many of those same design elements.
First I designed and built a cabinet to fit the basement window.
I wanted the piece to look like an authentic antique, so I stained the inside to give it an aged look.
Then I applied one coat of paint and topped it with a different color to make it look like it had been painted a few times over the years.
After the second coat of paint was dry, the cabinet was lightly sanded and rubbed with a wood stain to give it an aged look.
