Recycling, the Craigslist way

I admit to losing a few minutes of sleep over the fact that the kitchen I desperately wanted to rip out of my new little house was less than 5 years old.

That would seem to be the epitome of ungreen no matter how much bamboo you replace it with. I am not personally replacing it with any bamboo. I don't have any bamboo farms near me, so I don't completely understand how shipping it from halfway around the world will save the universe. But that's just me.

I am definitely dedicated to re purposing everything I can, so I am happy to know there is a Habitat for Humanities Restore not far from me.

That was definitely the back up plan, but I am happy to report that within 15 minutes of posting our 'complete kitchen' for sale on Craigslist, we had our first phone call. And, I sold the cabinets the next day. At a discount because the buyer wants to come in and remove them himself! Can you say Wahoo!?

Recycling at it's finest. With the $$ coming my way. Now we can buy a new cabinet or two. Hmmm . . .
