Help w/ Cabinets
I did a search and found some great information on flooring & shelves, but I am looking for some cabinets.
I know the gladiator shelves are nice, but I am looking for something permanent, that I can mount to the walls, (on the studs of course) that I can paint white to match the garage, and has doors on it to hide all my junk, or at least hide some of it. I want shelves I can mount up top on the back wall of my garage.
Anyone know where I might be able to find something like this?
I don't want to buy new high dollar kitchen cabinets from Lowe's or HD and put them in my garage.
What I could really use are some used, not so pretty looking, but strong kitchen cabinets that I can paint white.
or is there something else you guys suggest or know of?
Thanks,
BTW
Going with the khaki Rust-O-Leum Epoxy, bought it on sale for $51 a kit at Sears the other day.

4x8 sheets of 3/4" MDF are $20 at Home Depot. I thought about going that route for some wall units. Be easy enough to make a full 3x3x1 shelf from 1 sheet for ~30 bucks total if you have a saw and maybe a router. 3/4" MDF is stout stuff but very easy to work with.
Watch the Austin Craigslist (at http://austin.craigslist.org/ ). Or post a 'wanted' ad (hey, it's free). Someone remodeling their kitchen or bathroom might either give you or sell cheap their old cabinetry.
