Uses for Old Doors

April 12, 2010

I took an old closet door and a stack of plates which didn't sell at my yard sale and turned it all into a usable coffee table.

Approximate Time: One Saturday

Supplies:

Instructions:

  1. Remove the hardware from the door and scrape as much paint off as you can.

  2. Give a quick, light sanding to keep all the dings and scratches in the wood.

  3. Craft Project: Recycled Mosaic Coffee Table
     
  4. Measure the door to desired table length, mark, and cut off the ends, to use as legs.

  5. Break your stack of old plates into pieces and glue them on (as a mosaic).

  6. Cover the area with grout and once dried, sponge on some white acyrlic paint over the entire area. A damp cloth removes the excess paint from the plate pieces.

  8. Use the brackets to attach the legs on underneath and then cover the entire door with a polycrylic gloss finish.

When I see a door that someone is discarding, I haul it home and set it up my back yard. I usually hook them between a couple of trees with bungee cords.
