A couple of weeks ago, I lucked upon someone giving away a slew of cabinets. By the time I was able to get someone to watch my kids (my mom finally came back after one of her "I'm just gonna run a quick errand" trips) most of them were gone. I was able to snag these two wall cabinets, along with a couple of matching base cabinets, one of which I kept.
A week or two later someone else was giving away more cabinets but the catch was you had to come and uninstall them. I spent two hours getting as many as I could and filled the minivan up. I ended up only needing these two that are hung, plus the one base with drawers. I could have squeezed another smaller wall cabinet but decided instead to list everything I didn't need for $10 per cabinet on Marketplace and I got fast responses. A dude from Indiana came and bought them all up.
I'm really proud of my decision to get rid of those shelves. The space is now more open and with this free table I found, it really looks like a tradesman's workspace. There is still a pile of junk on the floor that I need to deal with, but it is still much more open than before. If we are here for more than one more year, I may invest in an outdoor storage shed for the bikes. Having them outside but secure would free up some valuable wall space.
