SSSShhhhhh!!! Don’t tell Wellborn the free display set went into my own personal closet ;)

Wellborn Cabinets has always had a “Dressing Suite” collection that has been great if you want to continue the look of your “Master Suite” in your closet. But for those of us that don’t have a “Master Suite”, the Wellborn “Dressing Suite” collection may have been a little out of the budget… especially now that a gallon of gas is almost the same price as a gallon of Starbucks coffee!

Unlike all the Jokers in Washington, Wellborn has been responding great to the tough economic times with their “Gold Keys” program. This program is a 40 point plan to introduce new and exciting items and programs in response to the downturn in the market. This week, Gold Key #22 made a grown man cry…

Wellborn is introducing their “Distinctive Closet” program on October 6th! Just like the Wellborn Cabinetry line features a Good / Better / Best construction, the Wellborn Distinctive Closet program offers 3 different levels of Quality and Style to meet any Custom Closet design and budget. And best of all, because Wellborn is the manufacturer, you can be assured this is a GREEN CHOICE product that will be safe for your family and the environment.

To celebrate the launch of Wellborn Cabinet’s Distinctive Closet Program, I am offering FREE Custom Closet and Custom Pantry designs AND 10% off your Custom Closet/Pantry Order for the entire month of October! If you are a Builder or Remodeler that currently uses another Custom Closet vendor, now is a great time to experience the Wellborn AND The Green Cabinet Guy design difference!

Imagine the ease of cooking dinner with a Custom Designed Pantry like this! Rachael Ray would be jealous!

Our main warehouse has a LOT of what we call “Boneyard” cabinets. For many different reasons (none of them my fault), these cabinet just sit around taking up space until someone comes along and buys them for their garage, laundry, hobbyroom, workshop, etc. From time to time we will have a huge cabinet sale, and you really can’t beat the deal you can get on these cabinets!

But most people don’t realize the cool stuff you can do with cabinets. They see a cabinet and think “kitchen” I see a cabinet and think “furniture”!

Here is a project I worked on over the weekend to jazz up my entryway for a superbowl party!

Step 1: Buy some cabinets from The Cabinet Guy for a ridiculously good deal…

Step 2: Relieve your 401k looking more like a 201k frustrations by abusing new cabinets with sandpaper. Breathe deeply. Now close your eyes and imagine you are that guy on PBS with the Fro that paints the “Happy Trees” pictures. While keeping your eyes closed, dip your your brush into the paint and make some magic happen.

Step3:Attach cabinets together with the fastening device of your choice (preferably screws), build countertop with MDF shelf from Big Box store of your choice (preferably Lowes), and finish your painting (preferably with eyes open)

Step4: ( Note: many items in step 4 can be avoided if you think ahead) Level cabinets on wall, yell to your beautiful Fiance’ to bring drill in from outside, ask beautiful Fiance’ to hold cabinets in place while you run around looking for your masonry drill bits, assure beautiful Fiance’ you have almost found them as she yells “These things are getting heavy!”, wonder if beautiful Fiance’ is having second thoughts about her future unorganized husband, find drill bits, attach to wall, kiss beautiful Fiance’.

Step 5: Have Beautiful Fiance’ decorate your new work of cabinet art!

Step 6: Have friends OOOOOhhh and AAAAhhhh at the sweet creation that YOU made!
