DIY Window Kitchen Cabinet

DIY Rustic window cabinet - so easy to build! This cabinet would be great in any room of the house for pretty storage. A great idea to add wrapping paper to the back of the cabinet for a pop of color.
Jose did it again! He made a window cabinet & it’s pretty much one of my favorite gems he has ever made. I couldn’t wait to share it with you guys today here on the blog & on his blog [here] he shared how you can make your very own. A little back story: Jose built a bookshelf for this partition wall in our home that divides the kitchen & the living room a while back & I really liked it, but you know us & change, it’s bound to happen! So recently I found this window in our garage because you all know I’m into cleaning the garage now as sen last week in my DIY beehive end table [here], & I really wanted to make something fun with the window. Enter the DIY window kitchen cabinet…

It’s such a chippy messy cabinet & that’s why I love it so much. The window has layers of paint on it & that’s why I love it so much. The wood used to build the cabinet around the window was new wood so to blend the old window & the new wood together I used Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint in the color farmhouse white. I had a little fun with the inside of the cabinet. I bought some Rifle paper co. paper from one of my favorite local boutiques here in Michigan, Rebel Reclaimed, to use on the back of the cabinet. For the shelves I wanted a paint color that was similar to the paper that I bought so I brought the paper to Home Depot & had them match a paint color to the background of the paper. I think they did an amazing job if I do say so myself!

So, to put the wrapping paper on the cabinet I have to admit I didn’t do this perfectly. Wallpaper isn’t my thing let’s say. What I did was coat the back of the paper & apply it to the back of the cabinet & rub out the bubbles with my fingers. That’s all I did. It’s not perfect, but I think the imperfections help it look a little more vintage. I’ll just tell myself that, but really I don’t think it looks that bad!! Head on over to Jose’s blog, Craftsmandrive.com [here], to see how he built it with more photos & details.

I think it turned out super cute & adds great storage to this space. Jose did such a great job building it, I’m so proud of him & the designs he comes up with for furniture. Inside the cabinet I have my dishes & pie sign from World Market, glass containers from Marshalls, crate from Gable Lane Crates, & white pitcher from Ikea among other little things. On top of the cabinet is some cloches from World Market with Ikea plants, a scale from my store [The Found Cottage], & a littl white pitcher. What do you guys think of our large DIY window cabinet? Be sure to visit Jose’s blog [here] for all details & instructions. Have you ever made a window cabinet? I would love to see it!

    Very cute. Little does my husband know that this is the solution for the storage above the toilet. Now to find an old door, which shouldn’t be hard around here.
    BTW, one of my friends, whose decor I think is the loveliest as well as the most French of all my French friends and neighbors, has papered the inside of her antique armoires. Very similar to yours.

    I love this, Liz! It makes the cutest little pantry. I’ve been thinking about constructing a built in cabinet in our bathroom and using an old window as the door. Our bathroom used to be the side porch of our farmhouse, so this window cabinet would be exactly where the original window was!
