    I love today’s project, and I’m happy to share with you how I made a hall tree or entryway table using a small side table and an antique door.

    It was exciting to be  invited to host an Artisan Workshop with Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Madison Indiana. I blogged about the workshop in my post Artisan Workshop At Madison Indiana ReStore. While there I started two projects.

    I apologize for the grainy, out of focus cell phone pictures.

     

    Use one nightstand

    And you have an easy Hall Tree project

    how to make a hall tree using a small side table and an antique doorI cleaned up the very dirty door and got busy painting the pieces with some Heirloom Traditions Chalk Type paint.

    Clean the door

    Apply vinyl artwork

    how to center vinyl appliqueI had cut a vinyl saying with my CAMEO. Here I am using a hem guide to center the vinyl on the door.

    Secure the door to the nightstand

    attach antique door to small table to make a great hall tree

    This is an awful picture, but I wanted to share how I attached the door to the small side table to make this hall tree.

    Before painting the door, I marked the area where I would be attaching screws—then I pre-drilled some pilot holes. After painting and waxing the door, I used some Simpson Strong-Tie wood screws to secure the door to the table.

    Adding a few finishing touches

    EDITED TO ADD:

    attach door knob

    Suzy left a comment asking about the doorknob. I hadn't mentioned that when I originally wrote up these details. I remember that Terry and I struggled with figuring it out. At home, I would have had more options because I'm such a collector of "junk". It's a little foggy on exactly what we did, but a dowel secured in place with a screw or glue is a good option to hold only one doorknob in place much like I did when I used doorknobs to make a coat rack on a drawer front and an old bed.

    Another bad cell phone picture, how sad! The entryway hall tree really turned out so sweet. I left it behind so that it can be auctioned off at their annual dinner/fundraiser. Soooo I didn’t get a chance to get a better picture.
