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!

  1. 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.

  3. 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!
