Savvy DIY fan turns boring old cabinet into dream coffee bar using Amazon bargains & people are loving it
IF we had to describe our dream home, a fancy coffee bar like the kind you find in swish hotel rooms would feature pretty high on our list of requirements.
From the outside looking in, you'd think this would be pretty hard to pull off on a budget - but not for savvy DIY fan Heidi.
Earlier this month, the thrifty Australian woman explained how she turned a boring old cabinet she bagged for FREE into a super chic coffee station.
Posting on a DIY Facebook group, the woman started by sanding down the wooden cabinet and then use Beyond Paint's white chalk paint.
Once she was happy with the finish, Heidi added a trendy cage light she picked up for $17 [£9] on Amazon.
Next, she screwed a $20 [£10.50] Coffee Bar sign onto the back of the cabinet.

She then finished off the monochrome piece of furniture with some simple black door handles that also came from Amazon too.
Chuffed with the results, Heidi decked out the cabinet with her coffee maker and posted the impressive before-and-after images on the page.

Another added: "I have a cabinet similar that we hardly use, thanks so much for the inspiration! It's definitely going to get a revamp now!"
"Wow how innovative," a third wrote. "Love this!"
