How about a paneled door to turn sideways and use as a headboard? Take advantage of that patina to use for a country cottage look; shabby chic; or coastal style. Use a door to create a one of a kind Coffee Table or Breakfast Table with two pair of rustic legs...hubba hubba! Just today, I saw a vintage screen door gussied up with a bit of paint and used for a pantry door instead of a boring white laminate door.
Another great project is to use a front door with a few extra pieces and vintage hardware to create a hall tree for an entry or even a mud room. Outfit 3 or 4 doors with hinges and make a folding screen. Paint with sea breeze colors and decoupage some photos of sea shells to create a privacy screen or even a piece of art. What are you waiting for! The doors are waiting for you and your imagination!
