My fiancée, Claire, and I have started acquiring furniture for when we finally get married in a few months. We both really wanted to put a liquor cart on our registry, but all the ones that we liked were far outside of the budget of any of our guests—or our own for that matter. One day, while browsing through Pinterest, which Claire frequently does, she spotted an armoire that was converted to a liquor cabinet. I started searching Craigslist just for fun and got really lucky. I found a slightly beat-up TV cabinet for $75. We picked it up, as well as the supplies, and before long we had a new liquor cabinet! All in all, this project probably cost around $200.
