I found this tossed out cabinet door at Goodwill.
It needed a little love and I had some extra love to give so I turned it into this……..
I started off by removing the hinges and giving it a good coat of spray paint. Once the paint was dry I Modpodged some scrapbook paper in the center
of the cabinet door.
of the cabinet door.
I looked high and low until I found and image online that I wanted to use, ripped a few pages out of the phone book, and used them to transfer the image onto the cabinet door. I talk more about this technique HERE.
After the image was traced I found my black paint and went to town. 
Once everything dried I added drawer pulls, (aka handles for the tray), sanded it down a few areas and wiped a little stain over the sanded areas
to roughen it up a bit.

And there you have it, an old cabinet door gets some love and I get a new tray. I think we both win in this situation. :o)

ReplyDeleteGirl, I just bought a cabinet door almost identical to this one at Habitat Restore. I did not mod podge mine but put it on my dining room table with some things on it. I love it. I will have to do a post on it soon and let you know to take a look at it. I also love that checkered paper. I have used it all kinds of places in my house.
