door projects












i really love old doors...and we use them for counters, big store fixtures, display cabinets and sometimes for walls....they are plentiful, cheap, and good and solid....we use lots of doors in our projects and have lots of old doors for sale under the awning, usually under 25$....


our big double door open cupboards, running from 300 to 450$, have been turned into tv stands and sinks....but usually they end up as big focal points in a home or a neat cottage/shabby/ rustic accent under a covered porch


lots of our creations end up as store fixtures...often for a real creative store owner, who wants to look big and wonderful and outside the box when it comes to displaying.... they are good for big shabby cottage type store fixtures...here we use them for foo foo, country, fancy shabby, ....they are big and tough and i can nail into them...,


its so good to recycle something so nice from the past..,back when they used real wood and a lot of it...


.here its moved from maybe someones burn pile, from junk, to a big useful very reasonably priced piece of furniture...our big ones are 4 or 5 ft wide and 6 or 7 ft tall...

plus it gives a lot of us around here jobs.... which is always a good thng....

see the little dream sign? its a leftover door panel....

and always thanks to all the scroungers and savers out there who didnt burn their neat old junk...
