Reuse still-sturdy kitchen cabinets in a garage or closet instead of tossing them. Remove the doors, paint the boxes, and as long as they're modular cabinets—premade boxes that are unattached to each other and can stand alone—they're easy to relocate. You could save $5,000 compared with buying new units to fill space with a 10-foot run of base and top cabinets.
