A Shipping Crate Kitchen

Here’s a great remodel that has a funky frugal charm. Grocers throw out shipping crates routinely. Here’s just one way to reuse that wasted packaging.

Who would imagine what a great unique and individual face each one has when presented as the edge of a drawer or door. When you see a whole lot of these shipping crates, they hardly look appetizing, do they? Yet someone found a great reuse for them.

Perhaps your business throws away something en masse that looks just as unappetizing, that could yet be recycled like these packing crates. Why not contact RecycleMatch about your waste – even if it looks really unappetizing to you.
And see what other businesses must throw out – perhaps it’s just what you could use.

I don't know about frugal, they have a wine cooler and a fully integrated dishwasher. The drawers may have repurposed fronts but the boxes are from very reputable Blum.

Hmm this design is not for me, definitely!

Very innovative and indigenous but not a sight for everyone's eyes. Some may fancy this one of a kind design but then again some people who would want their kitchen looking spic and span would probably pass on this. Talk about dirty kitchens and obsessive-compulsive homemakers.
