Home makeover: Junk beautiful

A family's home gets a beautiful makeover using recycled junk.

The powder room cupboard
Consider replacing built-ins with elegant antique furniture pieces that simultaneously confer character and give you more room to groom. We love this Welch dresser. It's relatively small in scale, providing the sense of spaciousness so desperately needed, and gave us the necessary catchall storage. The piece has plenty of open shelving up top and space below with doors for all of those items that don't really need to be seen. And voila, we accomplished what we set out to do with elbow room to spare.
