DIY Shutter Door With Basket Storage

by Brepurposed

I love a good challenge. And a lot of my projects wouldn't even exist if I wasn't pushed outside my comfort zone.
A group of my blog friends and I get together every month for a DIY Challenge based on the same theme, and this month was DOORS.
My original idea was to find a small piece of furniture I could make some mini sliding barn doors for; but I never found one and they were never made. I'll tuck that idea into my back pocket ;)
So my next idea was to find a cupboard or shutter door and add some storage elements to it and turn it into a fun decor piece.
The search for said door proved to be quite tricky. I searched high and low and could not find one anywhere! Until I headed to my local Habitat Restore. Jackpot.

Wanna know a secret? This guy is actually plastic. Amazing what a little paint can do huh?

Speaking of paint, I was out of my Old White supply from Annie Sloan(R) and remembered that they started selling Folk Art Chalk Paint in the craft stores. I picked some up at A.C. Moore while I was out running some errands. You seriously can't beat the $7.99 price. Throw in a 40% coup and it's practically free ;)
