I’m sure you’re busy getting ready for Christmas. I just wanted to pop in with a quick and easy cabinet door coat rack chalkboard project.
All you need is an old cabinet door, knobs, scrap plywood and some paint.
Over the Summer my cousin gave me an old built-in hutch. This is one of the doors that had the glass broken out of it.
MY LATEST VIDEOS
You may remember I used two of the doors for my IKEA hack.
I gave it a base coat of my DIY chalk paint in black. Making my own chalk paint with plaster of paris works great as a primer or base coat. It sticks really easily to the cabinet door.
Then I did a dry brush technique with some oops red. To do the dry brush technique, I use a cheap chip brush, and barely load paint on the tips of the bristles. I lightly brush on the red paint over the black, allowing the black to show through.
I love the way this technique looks on the black base coat. I used the original knob, and the two knobs left over from the IKEA hack project to use for hooks/hangers. I just drilled holes and used the original screws as well. Easy! You can see the chalkboard piece of plywood to the right.
Easy Cabinet Door Coat Rack
I love the color combination of the deep red, black and white.
It’s such a versatile piece, great for the bathroom…..
…or for some scarves.
How would YOU use it?
I have an antique window that my mother striped the paint off of. So when I got it I thought it was pretty plain wood, so I hung it on the wall. It hung there for 20 years. Now I’m going to put black and white pictures of my grandson behind the glass panes.
Cute…..I love the I LOVE YOU at the bottom! Great job.
That is so cute. I love it. Great job
Merry Christmas, Gail. I hope you have a most wonderful time and that all your holiday wishes come true!
Cute easy project. I thought of making chalkboards this year… but it didn’t happen.
I’m making a list and checking it twice for next year… we’ll see what happens.
I like the bathroom message… and ,
I LOVE YOU TOO! muh-wah!

Love it, Gail!!
Quick and easy! Looks wonderful, I really like those 6-paned doors, my new-to-me kitchen has two of them in the corners.
Aaaaah! Cute! We eventually want to turn one of our closets into a mudroom and this would be great in there.
I love this project, Gail! And a great handmade gift idea too!
