Kitchen Storage Is Hiding Behind Doors That Look Like Wall Panels

Image
Kitchen storage does not have to announce itself through rows of cabinet doors, handles, and exposed appliances. In this kitchen, much of it blends into two large wall installations that read more like architectural paneling. Dark wood covers one wall from floor to ceiling, while textured white cabinetry occupies another. Doors follow the same lines, finishes, and proportions as the surrounding panels, leaving few clues about what sits behind them. Open those doors and the kitchen changes. Built-in appliances, wine storage, glassware, bottles, and serving tools occupy spaces that disappear when they are not needed. Dark Wood Turns an Entire Wall Into Concealed Storage Dark wood panels cover the rear wall with narrow seams between each section and no conventional cabinet handles. Grain runs across adjacent doors, helping the individual storage sections read as part of one continuous surface. The white island keeps the work zone separate from this storage wall. Sink, faucet, and c...

He Raised His Washer and Dryer and Turned the Space Underneath Into Storage

Image
Washer and dryer doors sat close to the garage floor, while four wall cabinets occupied the space above them. Laundry supplies had no dedicated storage near the machines, and transferring clothes meant bending down each time. Reddit user u/iSniffMyPooper decided to raise both front-load machines on a wood structure instead of buying separate appliance pedestals. The new base puts the doors higher while turning the added height into two open cubbies and a deep pull-out drawer for laundry supplies. The creator said avoiding so much bending was one of the main reasons for the project. Existing Cabinets Set the Height Limit Four gray cabinets were already mounted above the LG washer and dryer, so the new base could not raise the appliances without accounting for the space overhead. Water connections also sit on the wall behind the machines, another point the new surround had to accommodate. The original setup left both appliances on the garage floor. Raising them would bring the doo...

This Fall Wreath Started With an Upside-Down Dinner Plate

Image
An upside-down dinner plate seems out of place in a fall wreath project. Here, its rim provides the guide needed to build a round base without a foam or wire wreath form. Homedit creator Morena Hockley surrounded the plate with bark-edge wood rounds, then added a second layer to connect the pieces. Once the glue set, the plate could come out and the wood held the circle on its own. Gold shimmer, burlap, a twig nest, and red flowers finish the wreath. Each addition stays concentrated enough to leave much of the cut wood and bark exposed. Dinner Plate Sets the Circle Wood rounds are spaced around the outside of the upside-down plate, leaving gaps of less than an inch between them. The plate establishes the inner opening and keeps the pieces on a consistent circular path. Different diameters work within the same ring. Knots, growth rings, bark edges, and uneven shapes remain visible instead of requiring a set of matching wood cuts. Second Row Connects the Wood More rounds overl...

They Removed the Dark Blue Tile and the Bathroom Looks Like a Completely Different Space

Image
Dark blue square tile covered the floor, walls, tub surround, and shower partition in this primary bathroom. A large built-in tub occupied much of the room, while the same navy finish connected almost every major surface. u/Fit-Olive-4680 Reddit user u/Fit-Olive-4680 spent seven months remodeling the space. The project went over the original estimate, cost more than their kitchen renovation, and reached a point where they fired the contractor. Removing the tub freed wall space near the pass-through to the closet and changed the layout. Wood cabinetry, pale stone counters, terracotta-toned flooring, cream shower tile, and new lighting replaced most of the dark finishes. One part of the old bathroom survived the renovation, and it became one of the biggest points of debate in the thread. Dark Blue Tile Covered the Floor and Walls u/Fit-Olive-4680 Square navy tile ran across the floor and continued halfway up the walls, creating a dark band around the room. The tub deck used the sa...

Don’t Toss the Egg Carton, There’s a Clever Way to Use It on a Picture Frame

Image
Gray cardboard egg cartons rarely look like craft material once the eggs are gone. The molded wells, rough surface, and bulky shape seem better suited for the recycling bin than a spot on a shelf. Homedit contributor Brittney Smart saw another use for those individual sections. She cut apart the carton, reshaped the wells with scissors, painted them blue, and layered several pieces together before attaching the finished decorations to a plain wood picture frame. The project leaves the frame itself intact. Instead, three dimensional flowers gather around one corner, creating a blue accent from cardboard that once held eggs. Individual Wells Are Cut From the Egg Carton The lid is removed first, leaving the molded lower half of the carton. Each egg well is then separated so it can be shaped as an individual piece. Trimming removes the square sections around the top, while cuts around the remaining edge divide the cardboard into several rounded petals. The deep molded center stays ...

This Dollar Store Glass Cake Stand Turns Into a Mini Pumpkin Patch for Fall

Image
Dollar store fall decor does not have to start with a wreath, vase, or plastic pumpkin. A glass cake stand with a dome can become the container for an entire miniature fall scene, while the serving piece itself stays untouched. Homedit contributor Brittney Smart used the glass stand as the base for a small pumpkin patch, filling it with bright green moss, faux pumpkins, gourds, and a branch of yellow leaves. The pumpkins sit low across the plate while the branch takes advantage of the unused height beneath the dome. Once the dome goes back on, the separate craft-store pieces read as one enclosed fall display. There is no glue holding the arrangement to the glass, so the pumpkin patch can come apart after fall and the cake stand can go back to serving food. Moss Creates the Ground Inside the Glass Stand Bright green moss goes onto the center of the cake plate first. Instead of forming a thin, flat layer, the moss is left in loose clumps with different heights. Keeping it away fro...
