If I were to do that project, I would first make sure that the wall is strong enough to hold the doors, and that you use the proper hardware so that they are securely hung on your wall. To do this, I would get the opinion of someone at the hardware store who has experience hanging heavy objects, as I'm sure they would need to be anchored to the walls due to their weight. (meaning, I would not merely use a hammer and nails, but use anchors). Next, I would make the doors themselves into works of art, probably with a stencil and paint, and then of course with some type of topcoat sealant to protect the artwork. I would also be sure to do a lead test to make sure that the doors that you want to use as tables do not contain lead paint. You can buy lead paint test kits at hardware stores. As for how to decorate the wall behind the doors, you could use vinyl wall art or maybe even just have some alternate art that you can hang from the same hardware that the doors hang on that you put up when you take the doors down. Sounds like a fun project! Good luck!

I have a small living-room and dining rom combo and don't want the dining tables all the time, but am happy to move the living room furniture to one end of this long room in order to have the dining tables up. I'd like the doors to function as large art on the wall and then I'd like to take them down for these gatherings. How would you hang them? What could I use to make the wall pretty when they are removed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508733528711241001.post-88607727796207732312015-12-10T13:18:28.814-05:002015-12-10T13:18:28.814-05:00I would love to see some photos of the finished pr...I would love to see some photos of the finished project!
