Another cabinet door project

When we decided to get new kitchen cabinets I decided to keep a lot of the old doors b/c I just knew they would come in handy for something. We tried giving all the cabinets away but the gentleman didn't want all of them, so I took the doors.


The door was already white so all I did was paint the inside with chalkboard paint, stamp some pretty red paint around the edge, and attach two hooks to hang keys and stuff. I took off all the hardware so it wouldn't look like a cabinet door hanging on the wall. I usually like the old, rustic, re purpose look but not for this project. What do you think?

Playroom Fun


Here are a few of the fun touches I added to the playroom. I wanted to go all girly but my son might not appreciate that too much when he gets a little older, so I tried to be more neutral.

The sign on the door is an old kitchen cabinet door I had. I painted the inside with chalkboard paint and the trim yellow. I added some fabric for the hanger.

I took some strips of fabric and wrapped it around simple baskets for a cute touch.

I had these festive balls from my very first year teaching, and I don't use them at school anymore so I put them to use at my house.

My favorite part is the wording on the wall. I covered big paper mache letters with cute paper and painted with matching colors around it.
