I bought this door at the Habitat for Humanity restore in Nashville TN. I had been searching for a narrow solid door just for this project. It was on clearance for $5.00. (you know that’s my limit)
I added some crown molding on the very top, along with some “L” brackets so that it can be attached to the wall for a secure situation. There are two coat hooks, one on each side. The mirror was a curb find. It was too wide, but I was able to use a glass cutter to fit it to the correct size.
In the middle is a cute little shelf that I got at a thrift store for $1.00.
This handy bottom piece, originally had a towel bar below it. I cut the towel bar off.
Near the top, under the crown molding, you can see that I added one of my hardware pieces (from the restore). I like wooden appliques, but I find that they are much too expensive. I can usually get the hardware pieces at the restore for 50-75 cents.

I sold this piece, so I never attached it to the wall for taking the pics. You would definitely want to secure it to the wall.
thanks!
