I have an easy Live Laugh Love sign for you today! This one was made from a small cabinet door from an old microwave cabinet.
Old Wooden Microwave Cart
Way back in November (?) I started working on my kitchen. I had this microwave cart.
Updated Cart
I changed it up a little to hold my microwave, and a small convection oven. To do that I had to remove the doors.
Small Cupboard Door Repurposed
While I was looking for a piece of wood to use for a sign, I stumbled across this door. I had already cut the vinyl with my Silhouette, and when I laid the vinyl on this little door, it fit perfectly!
Sand Door & Paint to Make Live Laugh Love Sign
I sanded it a little and painted it with an oops red.
Drill Holes for Hardware | Knobs
I drilled two extra holes for additional knobs and sanded the red a little, but then I decided I wanted it “aged” a little.
Aging with a Dry Brush Technique
I used one of my favorite “chip” brushes to give it a dry brush effect.
Stash of Extra Knobs
I sorted through some of my knobs to find three that I thought would look great.
Three little knobs, perfect for t-towels in the kitchen, or some of those cute mason jar candle holders in the bathroom.

Can’t leave a comment on the ‘red bookcase’ site for some reason. Having stumbled on your site I want to say I love what you did with the old door. I have just retired and running a BandB so far too busy to have time for DIY but your very clear and interesting projects are enthusing me big time. Well done, love the use of ‘oops’ bins, cast offs and reuseable timber, excellent. Regards, Martin, UK
Great blog. Every post is full of such terrific ideas.
Great sign. I just painted a pillow with almost the same design on it…almost.

Very cute! I like the knobs you added. It’s cool that you didn’t let a good door go to waste. It would be a cute place to hang some vintage aprons.
So very cute. I love it.
I find all your posts inspiring. You are a good ‘leader’ showing so many of your blog readers ‘how to’ and ‘why’.

I love the new sign! And your cabinet project gives me a lot of inspiration fo my kitchen!
Wow! I love this – what a creative repurpose of an old cabinet door! I’m pinning this on my Repurposed Pinterest board 🙂
Oh, new follower too 🙂
As always….Gail knocks it out of the park! Awesome project!
