My "Restoration Hardware" style keezer

So I took on this project of making a freezer look like a piece of furniture (the only way I could get away with it w/ the mrs!).

I built a traditional keezer with a 10" collar and put it on a dolly I made. Then used 1x6 (and a 1x3) to make 3 panels of planks, then did a distressed finish.

I'm super stoked to have it finished and approved (even by my dog Jackson)

 

Looks great. Excited to start mine.

Looks nice! I like the chalkboard top. Good idea.

 

thanks! the chalk was super easy! it can't be said for the rest of the project, which was insanely complex. I have all the receipts, but am scared to see what I spent on it

 

The drywall mud pan as a drip tray looks perfect on there.

 

Hey Jpope, first off, GREAT job on the keezer! I'm going to be starting my keezer build soon and I got the approval from SWMBO that I can keep it inside if I can make it look similar to your keezer. We both researched ideas for it and she actually found your build on Pinterest. Do you have any more build pictures? and I was curious about how you secured the boards together. Did you frame it? From the pictures it seems the boards are flush with the freezer. Any insight and help will be much appreciated!

 

Awesome job on making it look rustic, I love that look.

I'm building a upright kegerator with a distressed look, I ordered some hardware and straps from tetoniron.com to go with the rustic look. The screws or even just decorative straps would finish off your keezer nicely but it looks great as it is.
