Many new cabinets are made from particle board, which contains formaldehyde, a toxin that can cause eye, nose and respiratory irritation,and even cancer. Solid wood cabinets may be safer but are expensive. Consider the green option: Building around salvaged kitchen items like these.

Just makes me want to build a kitchen !!
对我来说，重新使用和再利用厨房物品是及时的——这里展示的例子是惊人的。我正试图在有限的资金上建造一个被认可的厨房，这些是鼓舞人心的。
谢谢，谢谢，谢谢!你的网站很棒。我已经在网上搜索了好几天，寻找“完美无瑕，无聊透顶”的厨房设计之外的灵感。
I’m itching to get started & looking at everything now with a very beady eye to dual purpose it! Thanks again!
Chalkboard paint is actually paint? Or is it an actual piece of chalkboard? If it’s paint, where would you even find some since chalkboards are considered so outdated? Does it get all spotty when wet? I’m looking for a back splash idea, but rent, so bricks would be out of the question. open to suggestions.
Hi Elizabeth, Yes, chalkboard paint really exists and people seem to really like it. See here:https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-206540-Chalkboard-Brush-30-Ounce/dp/B0006BAEI6– Lots of reviews to read on Amazon. I would google chalkboard back splash under images as well. The brand Hudson makes many different colors so you are not restricted to black. Hope the project comes out beautifully. Best, Keiren
Hey thanks for these! I’m going to remodel my kitchen soon and there are some very cool ideas.
I wrote a post recently on making your own chalkboard paint:https://www.mysuburbanhomestead.com/homemade-chalkboard-paint/
I have been looking online forever (ok, about a year) to find pictures of people using salvaged pieces in the kitchen, and I could never come up with a good example. Now I have plenty of great, inspirational examples all on this site! THANK YOU!
Green Demolitions receives donations and consignments of per-owned kitchens and showroom displays from all over the U.S. We have many wonderful after pictures from customers who have retrofit these recycled kitchens. Please let me know who to send to and I e-mail to you and mention this site on our Facebook. Thanks.
These are really cool+ inspiring!!!!
I would like to get old metal kitchen cabinets and get rid of the cheap standard wood cabinets. I want a 40s or 50s look.
Keep checking Craigslist for metal cabinets. I have been on the lookout for a farmhouse sink for out kitchen which we hope to remodel next year. I found not only the double drain board sink, but it came with metal cabinets to boot. Best thing…they’re PINK! I can’t wait to fix them up and install them next summer. We live in a manufactured home and our cabinets are hideous, cheap particle board.
So inspired by all these ideas!! I began decorating with salvage style out of necessity. Even though I can now afford new Im still doing salvage because of all the character it provides. Love it!!
Wonderful curating job of inspirational resources. Mthank you
Now we are talking simply refreshing all these ideas
Cool
Wonderful site and organisation….we are looking at using pallets for our kitchen renno….I wonder of there is a site like yours in Australia?
I come across great materials, and want to add them to my design. Thank you,
Steve

Can you repurpose kitchen cabinets outside in a sheltered position? Im doing my diploma and have a kitchen to redo plus a butler’s kitchen and an outdoor entertaining area. Thought it would be good to repurpose the kitchen outside, after using the items like sink and oven for the “pantry”
Love this article! Great idea to repurpose salvaged cabinets for storage in your kitchen.
