At Wethered Timberworks, we love a good transformation story, and the Poling Addition is shaping up to be one for the books! The homeowner had a brilliant idea to source second-hand cabinets from a friend to extend her pantry. These cabinets, though well-loved and full of history (and maybe a little lunch, as you'll see in the “before” photos!), are being transformed into custom-fitted pieces that will perfectly complement her new pantry space.
Before: The Story of Second Chances
The “before” photos capture the starting point—cabinets with some wear and tear, complete with remnants of meals and memories. They’ve served their purpose in another home, and now they’re ready for a second act. The beauty of using pre-loved cabinets is the combination of sustainability and character, creating a unique story for the homeowner's space.
The Process: From Worn to Wonderful
Here’s how we’re transforming these cabinets:
Cleaning & Prepping: Every cabinet is being stripped of its past life (including leftover snacks!) to start fresh. Sanding away years of wear is the first step toward their new beginning.
Repairing & Refacing: Damaged areas are being repaired, ensuring structural integrity. We’ll reface them with acrylic white paint to bring a bright, modern look to the extended pantry.
Custom Fitting: Each cabinet is carefully measured and modified to fit perfectly in the new space. This step is crucial to ensure not just functionality but also a seamless look.
Sustainability in Action
By repurposing these cabinets, the Poling Addition is saving materials from the landfill and reducing the environmental footprint of the renovation. It's a testament to the homeowner’s vision and commitment to eco-friendly choices.
A Fun Journey
The before photos are a reminder of how fun and rewarding a project like this can be. Seeing these cabinets evolve from a mix of mismatched pieces into a cohesive, stunning pantry solution is why we love what we do.
What’s Next?
With the sanding and prep work complete, the next stage is all about painting and installing these transformed cabinets into their new home. The Poling Addition is a fantastic example of how creativity, sustainability, and craftsmanship can work together to create something truly special.
Stay tuned for the “after” photos—we promise the transformation will blow you away!
