I have always enjoyed the look of the old stepback cupboards but not the price, so I decided to create something similar on my own.  I found the top piece of this cabinet at a garage sale.  I found the bottom piece in the PennySaver http://www.pennysaverusa.com , It is an old bottom kitchen cabinet.  I screwed both pieces together.  I then took the doors off the bottom piece and painted the entire piece the same color. Once again I invaded my old knob collection and I found some large old glass knobs that I orginally found on http://www.ebay.com/ and used them to complete the project. The whole project cost me less than $100, way better than the $3000 dollar price tag on the cupboards I've admired at antique shops, and every item I used had a previous life. Even the paint, although not previously used,  was left over from a previous project. :} The top portion has made an awesome  storage area for unsitely media cases.


TIP:  Old knobs can be used over and over again, if you find one that speaks to you...keep it and use it again somewhere else.
