Vintage Tea Packing Chest Kitchen Cabinets
[Photograph: Rupert Blanchard]
London-based designer and builder Rupert Blanchard made these nifty kitchen cabinet doors by veneering them with vintage tea packing chests from the 1930s to 1960s. The kitchen belongs to Time Based Arts, a post-production studio based out of an old Victorian townhouse attached to Shoreditch Town Hall. [via Re-Nest]

All my bedroom furniture is made out of cardboard boxes I salvaged from the grocery store.

I lived right down the street from Shoreditch Town Hall when I studied abroad. Thanks for the link; it was always one of my favorite buildings and I'm happy to see that it's enjoying a second life.
As for the cabinets, I've seen similar things done with disassembled wine crates.

My mom has an antique armoire and the back panel is made from an old East India Company tea crate. If you move aside the hanging clothing you can see the markings.
Awesome idea, I love these cabinets.
