    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)

    door repurposed into hall treeI 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.

    thrifted magazine rack for hall treeThis 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 love old doors and the one you did was darling. But how do you make them stand up and not be afraid they will vall over? Is it enough to just lean them against the wall?

        Thank you so much Carol for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. 🙂

        "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."

        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!

      Hi Gail! You did a wonderful job on this hall tree! I also made one out of a door but it was a new door from Home Depot....I love it with the vintage looking door! It's just beautiful! ~Ashley
