Using Reclaimed doors: A cabinet project

 Hep...
we are at it again

using reclaimed vintage stuff from other peoples houses...
with their permission of course! 

This is Dave

he can do/fix just about anything 

...or so he tells me

 for this project he is sanding and scraping

and making sure I like the way the door looks!

Dave happens to like to have his picture taken too.

Hey Dave!!!!
looks pretty good!

 the door is about 7.5 feet tall and about 26 inches wide

about perfect
for a nice cabinet for the bathroom
&
I paid about 60 dollars for the door

it will go in this corner in the guest bathroom

many of the small details in this bathroom are very rustic
have peeling paint and natural wood
but the colors are actually
rather neutral

the vanity is very fun with its
little turned legs and a spot for a basket

the actual bath fixtures and tile
are contemporary and streamlined

but it is interesting how the two
concepts of rustic and contemporary work well together
especially in a space this small

here is our spot for the new cabinet
and a close up of the door in all of its
 painted chippy vintage wonderfulness

we chose to build the cabinet in on an angle
 so it took up a bit less space

and of course every old door needs an old knocker....you twist the knob and the woodpecker knocks!

The interior is built of simple pine and finished with a white pickled stain

this is the other side of the door
which was originally going to be the front but when we set it in the room
is was too busy and distracting

the only thing missing is a great big old knob...which will be fun to search for

so there you have it!

re-think
 re-use
re-cycle

thanks for stopping by!
