I have gathered another collection of great door project ideas from My Repurposed Life. This is a collection of repurposed door projects—regular doors, hollow core doors, and cupboard doors.
If you have some extra doors laying around, you might find something here to inspire you. Maybe you’re familiar with some of the later projects, but there are some oldies but goodies here too!
repurposed door into a small doll/child’s bench
blanket chest (repurposed door)
repurposed door into a corner shelf
louvered door slats repurposed into beverage tags
antique armoire door into a headboard
door repurposed into a shelf/nightstand
armoire door into a chalkboard

I really like doing these roundups (collections) of my repurposed junk.

Gail Wilson is the author and mastermind behind My Repurposed Life. She is obsessed with finding potential in unexpected places and believes that with a little hard work and imagination, any old thing can be made useful again, including herself!
Gail reinvented herself during a midlife crisis and has found purpose again. She hopes you will find new ideas for old things and pick up a few tools along the way.
thinking it through
For two months I moved a chair around in my dysfunctional home. Then the dam broke and all was clear... I must do what works for me. I began to recreate. My rooms began to function as I let myself be me in the now.

An old door is a sturdy piece of material that can easily be revamped into pretty much anything just like what you did on this project.

Great collection. The toddler bed is my fav.

I have only just recently found your excellent blog and am already obsessed!!
You are so clever and creative. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
May I ask- have you done any courses or what have you in carpentry or DIY etc? Or do you just learn as you go?
As someone just starting out in re-purposing what are the basic tools you suggest one might start with?
