Cabinet door repurpose

When I came across this blog (Nikki’s Nifty Knacks) I knew I wanted to make this. It took me a couple of months to get myself to the ReStore to find a cabinet door but I found one that was perfect. I also picked up some knobs.

Supplies:

  • cabinet door (I got mine for $3 at the ReStore)
  • paint
  • knobs for hanging jackets (also got those at the ReStore)

I forgot to take a picture of the front of the door before I painted it but here is the back. :)

After filling the holes and lightly sanding I used flat black spray paint as a primer. Once that dried I put on a coat of Black Satin finish. The wind was blowing quite bad and the paint job is not the best but that’s okay because I don’t want it to be perfect. After the entire thing was dry I distressed it with sand paper. I really love the brown showing through.

Originally I was planning to hang this in our entry way from the garage but I thought it would go much better in our room.
