As you know, I've reused almost all of the doors (see below). The other day I took the drawer front and used sandpaper to distress the edges:

Then I stuck some wooden words and letters that I bought from this seller on eBay, using PVA glue, and painted the front of them white:

Ta-da! A little sign to hang in our living room.


Don't judge me, I am not done sorting that corner out. It's looking a little awkward. Any plants I put there die due to low light. As mentioned before, I plan to turn the green vase into a lamp.
So, to recap, here are how I've used all of the cabinet doors and the drawer front:

1, 2, 3 and 5 became our headboard:

4 became artwork in the bedroom:

6, 7, 8 and 11 became bookcase doors in the studio:

9 became a Home Sweet Home sign in the living room:

So only 10 and two end panels remain unused ... for now! How's that for recycling?
Seriously, you rock. Can you come over and redecorate my house??
ReplyDeleteI'm not even joking when I say pay my fare and I'm there.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know when my ship comes in.
ReplyDeleteWow, now that is creative!
ReplyDeleteummm wow just WOW, I have no words!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You did an amazing job recycling! I love each new purpose! Great job!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! The headboard is absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see what you will do with the last two doors.
ReplyDeleteIf I tried something like this I can only foresee it ending in disaster! What a great job you've done!

What great ways to re-use those.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Really love the headboard idea!! I'm going to do that in my tiny guest cottage where a standard bed frame would take up too much room. Just love it!
