DOORS Con't

In addition to the bi-fold doors we made into corner shelves, Mom and Dad found a few doors curbside.  One was a full size old door and one was a solid wood bi-fold in great condition. 



 After looking through Pinterest, we decided that for the full size door we will make it into an entryway coat hook type of thing.  Mom painted it one coat of black that made it looked distressed and old.  We bought a round table from the Habitat ReStore and cutr an edge off to make a table.  We added a single leg since the table was small and painted the leg and table surface black and then put a single thin coat of red on them so they were distressed as well.  We found an oval mirror at a yard sale for $2 and added some coat hooks to either side of the mirror.  With the leg in the front center, Dad added two small stabilizing feet in the back so it stands on its own.  



As for the bi-fold door, we were inspired by Team NJ.  They made the trunk out of an old door and with this bi-fold door it was super easy.  There was much less planning and strategizing since there were two panels, each with two equal long sections and a short section, enough for all the sides of the box. Dad did an awesome job assembling this and stained it since the cut edges were raw wood and didn't match.  Mom and Dad went to the Restore and spent less than $2 on hardware supplies to add to the trunk, a small doorknob for the front, two handles for the sides, a chain for the inside to stay open and hinges.  This final product is absolutely amazing!!!
