Repurposed vintage screen door

I took a screen door from my great grandfather's old house and fitted it with chicken wire and burlap to use for my laundry room...

    This would be good for a closet too. I always use louvered doors on closets to allow for ventilation! I never have a musty smell in mine!

    Yes, perfect for a closet! I have about 6 more of these doors to use somewhere.

    Since you have so many of them, you could tack cloth in the openings and made a bi-fold screen or you could attach them together to make a headboard! Or rub them down with oil to add some color, make an uncomplicated brace for it and place one in a corner in front of which you could sit a beautiful plant, or even attach a light at the top and display artwork. There could be ulimited uses!

    Great idea Anita. And how special it is that it belonged to your Great Grandfather!

    I saw this and said why I didn't think of this. I love it.I have a screen door on my laundry room. I loved the door but didn't like the idea of being able to see in it. I just added the material over the screen. I have the bottom cut out for my cats to use the litterbox.

    I bet this would make a great pantry door too. Love the laundry door idea as well...now to find some really cheap (or free) screen doors :)

    I love this...particularly since it came from your Great Granfather's house. One thing about this screen door is that it lets a small room ventilate. That is why I love louvered doors on my closets.

    Very cute idea! I have done a couple of old screen door projects. I love them. I have one sitting in my garage right now that's just waiting for a makeover!
