Corner cabinet by PPebble
Corner shelf from an old door. Simply cut the door in half and add hinges or nails, and shelves.
Be sure to add a low shelf near the floor to help stabilize and prevent tipping.

So many gorgeous picks here! It's amazing how many ways there are to repurpose or salvage old doors. I especially love the door table.
ReplyDeleteI have an old door that I am figuring out what to do with.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture in your post of doors as a headboard!
Stopping by from the etsy blog team. :)
I love old doors! I've seen a few on the side of the road lately (people throw away the weirdest stuff), and I'm itching to take one home and make something. If only we had a garage or other place to work, I'd go to town!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the shabby chic first door pictured.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I love the colors...
ReplyDeleteI love old doors. I am looking for a dainty-ish pair now to make into closet doors for a closet in my bedroom. I love that chippy old paint too but I usually seal it as it is most likely lead based paint! I used old doors a lot in my old store to make room dividers/screens to deliniate different areas. I love old screen doors especially. Is it dumb to wish I didn't have central air so I could leave my kitchen door with just the screen door closed during the summer? (I wonder how long it would take my family to yell if I shut off the air and opened the doors? LOL)I just love that old squeak and bang..just like Godsey's Store on The Waltons...and my gramma's house! Great post!
ReplyDeleteYes, you have to be careful about the paint. You can usually tell if it is lead also by the way it "alligators" when it ages (the texture.)
DeleteBy the way, I just featured one your beautiful creations in my latest blog post
:)
Yeah, I love salvaged doors too. These are all great looks. :)
