DIY Reclaimed Wood Paneled Door
I want to start off this post by admitting two things right off the bat. I'm going to let it all hang out. Well, not literally. Nobody wants to see that! :)
1.) I did this entire project by myself. Woo hoo! Girl power! (Spice Girls anyone?)
2.) I DID THIS ENTIRE PROJECT BY MYSELF. Physically speaking, this should be more like a "Mike project" (aka. the hubby), or even a two person project. I think I almost broke my back--twice. And I know that when I had to shorten the door… it was a little scary. I was using power tools that I have never used before (I hope my husband is sitting down when he reads this!). However, Mike was in class, and I was bound and determined to do this all by myself.

So, the whole point of this disclaimer is…. don't do this project by yourself! Adding the amount of reclaimed wood that I used to this door significantly increases its weight. However, it might be a good way to gain muscle in your arms…. hmm… just kidding!
What do you need to start this project? First off, a door that needs a little extra spice! I originally wanted to make this laundry room door a sliding barnwood door, but since I wanted to do this entirely by myself and not spend a dime that option was out of the question.
