    A plumber told us to pour a bottle (jar) of TANG in the dishwasher. It has something in it ...»

  • I found this old door for $2.50 at a thrift store. I turned it upside down and made the bottom the top. 3
  • I used citrus paint remover to strip the paint. Then I sanded it well.
  • I added some trim and some appliques. Construction adhesive kept most of it in place, clamps and tape kept the trim from moving around. I also had to fill the holes where the door handle was, using wood plugs and filler.
  • Then I painted the frame. I used left over latex house paint in gray, with a white wash on top.
  • This can of magic turns regular glass into a mirror. I found mine at Mr. Arts. I used 5 cans.  If you let each coat dry completely before adding another one, it turns out much better. Be sure to wear a mask. 1
  • And that was it! This took about 5 days to complete, since I just worked on it a few hours a day. Stripping the paint took the most time, but if you find a door with a nice surface, you could skip that step. 3
  • The whole project cost about $65, including the door. I used a lot of scraps of trim and moulding we already had.
  • If you can miter corners, you can do this!
  • A lot of impact for not a lot of money! 2
