Far Too Chic To Be Shabby: Repurposed Door

 This door cost...wait for it...wait for it...only $5 at a local thrift store! Steal of a deal! However it was older than old and very rough around the edges. But sometimes its whats on the inside that counts. After sanding down a layer and applying some accessories, this door now functions and a great coat rack.
Some tips and tricks about this door:
  • Your local hardware store can cut mirror in any custom size as long as they can cut glass.
  • A thin layer of wood sealent will prevent your coats from getting snagged on the older wood.
  • It looks great leaning against the wall, but can also be secured with a few L-brackets for a more permanent fixture.
Here's a look at it in use. This piece has definitely been utilized this winter season...not to mention helping me not to loose my keys!
