Garage Door Turned Entry Shelf

Enough of the Wedding preparations already!!!!! (for now)

Would you recognize this as an old wooden garage door? 


It was transformed with a coat of
home-made chalk paint...


shelves and corbels left over from another project...


and a little midnight workshop action...


I created a skinny shelving unit, 
perfect for an entry or any narrow wall...


The addition of funky knobs for hooks, jute for pictures, 
a rusty bar for hanging, and wooden trim gave it detail...

The rusty bar makes a great towel bar too!

    Susan - this is fabulous! I moght have to try it. I've been watching some old windows at my local Habitat store that are long and skinny with 4 panes of glass. This is a GREAT idea. Love it.

    That is fantastic, Susan! This would be so great in any small room or apartment; lots of impact for a narrow piece. I know between both the apartments my kids had and have that this piece goes far with the hooks and shelves. Love it!

    How very clever! I just found your blog via My Repurposed Life. Love what you did with that table top, too.

    Susan,

    This is such a great project! What a great way to repurpose garage doors (I never thought I would write this in a comment)! LOL!

    Thanks for linking it up on Hometalk!

    Awesome! This could look really good with mirrors instead of glass. Just thinking... :) Heather x
