Old weathered door turned coffee table

Hey Hometalkers! I wanted to share this coffee table that my handy husband created for me using some furniture grade wood, spindle legs, an old wooden door and some copper piping. My ...»
neighbor had this weathered old exterior door out on the curb for trash pickup. I stopped and asked if we could have it, and he hand delivered it to my basement! My husband cut it in half, framed it out and added legs, then added the copper pipe as an accent underneath. I absolutely love the way this table turned out. It's sturdy and is perfect for my son to race his cars around the "tracks". Thanks for letting me share! :) http://unskinnyboppy.blogspot.com/2011/08...

  • My daughter used this desk as a teen, but it had been stored in the basement for years until I dissected it.
  • I built up the top, and added some crown molding.
  • Stacked one side onto the other side to make it tall, then added a new MDF bottom and feet.
  • After spraying it with primer and black paint, I felt it needed a little something special, so I stenciled a flowering vine all the way up the front of the drawers. 3
  • I added some glass knobs to finish it off. Because this piece has two deep drawers that were formally file drawers, and 4 smaller drawers, it is very versatile.
I currently have it in the bedroom, storing boots, and business stuff.  LOVE how versatile it is, and it's much smaller footprint.  Same storage, less floor space.  Win/win!
