Repurposed Door Shelf

A friend asked me to turn this ugly door into a useful shelf. She had a vision, could I pull it off?
Looking at the after, it's hard to imagine that it's the same door.
Here is the before--I have no idea what someone was thinking when they abused this door.
This picture shows the other side of the door. My friend also had these small mesh wired doors. You can see I have them clamped to dry fit and see if it is all going to come together.
I used my Kreg Jig Jr to make pocket holes in order to attach the small doors to the large door.
I also used the Kreg Jig to join the three boards together to make the shelves.

    I can't get over what you did I just love it so much. I want one too. It has perfect storage for shoes. Just add a few hooks on the sides and it's a hall tree. Now, I'm on the look for an old door !!!
