{Old Door = Chalkboard}

May 01, 2012

Oh man, how i LOVE old doors!!!  I am seriously a door hoarder!!  But, im trying to start repurposing them to get them cleared out!

A couple of years ago, i took an old single panel door,painted the frame white and then chalkboard in the middle and hung it horizontally on the wall for my craftroom.

Seriously bad pic, but it was the only one i could find right now…

Then recently i took an old screen door, ripped out the screen and put in a chalkboard.  I love the color on this one (intense teal by SW with a dark brown glaze)

If you have followed me for a while now, you know my old green door that i cut down to make a coffee table – still LOVE this one!!  Since then, i have made several door tables.

Then, just yesterday i posted about a single panel door that i turned into a jewelry holder

So, i took 2 more doors from my stash and turned them into chalkboards.  Both are a different color and both are for sale in the Sweet Pickins Shop.  I love these!!  Would be perfect in a kitchen, playroom, family room or of course, a craftroom :)

I have lots more old doors and lots more ideas!!!!
