Sorry I forgot to say in the post that I went and purchased some Plexi glass and have it sitting on top of the Door....

    Winnie Nichols, what type of sandpaper did you use? hand or powered sander? I have same ...»
    problem. It is mainly on the edges that are bad, I'll have to try this a couple doors that I'm willing to live with open shelving if it doesn't work. Haven't priced new doors but can only suspect that they would have to be custom made ,like most mobile home repairs. I don't think big box stores will have the unique sizes. Oh getting excited what a great summer project!!!!!

What a Trim Install Really Looks Like

Trimming out a room can really give it that high-end, crisp and clean look.

It's really inexpensive too. Would you believe that I spent only $60 on moulding and ...»

trimmed out the bottom of 2 rooms, plus an entire attic space? Oh, and add about 12 windows and doors too. I'm not kidding. We have a lot of entry ways in our NY house.But.....it's a lot of work. And has me hesitant toward whether or not we would do it again. Let me explain the whole process to you in steps. Because there's a lot of them. And when you think you're done, there's a few more.

Reclaimed Industrial Vanity

I really like the industrial look, so I came up with a vanity plan that's different from your typical vanity. I raided my dad's barn for some 2x6 tongue-and-groove boards and bought a ...»
stash of galvanized pipe for the legs and supports. It was pretty quick and easy to build, though it did take some time to figure out. I need to find some good baskets to fit on the shelves, and stock up on nicer towels! But we really like the vanity and so far its worked out great. Step by step tutorial on my blog.

Wood Planter Boxes

We wanted to grow some pole beans, but there wasn't any room in our raised beds, so my husband built some wood planter boxes. I designed and stained the boxes and planted the beans and ...»
added bamboo for them to climb on. You can read more about them here: http://diydesignfanatic.blogspot.com/2013/05... #MayProjects

    problem with a lack of space, so my husband and I bought 10 foot furring strips and nailed them along the long side of one of our boxes. We then ran string between the poles for the beans to twine up. It's worked great for the past 3 years.

  • At least it looked nice and neat with the door closed! 1
  • Such a disaster... we couldn't find anything in the jumbled mess, and heaven forbid it was at the back!
  • So you empty first, and knock those shelves out! 1
  • It was small closet sized, we repaired any wall damaged and painted. the strips are from the wood they used to hold the former shelves up.
  • My production line for painting. 8
  • I used a left over Behr semi-gloss for the first 2 coats. But finished it off with a nice coat of gloss.
  • You can see the aluminum channel he used to hold the shelves. Smart hubby. 1
  • I can see everything! We did add one more shelf up high a little later. And the bottom shelf is about 8 inches from the floor, so I can clean! 5
  • Everything has a place.  So nice. No more digging around to find things. 10

Pantry Remodel!

The standard pantries in the house we bought last year were almost unusable. Long deep shelves and only 3-4 of them in a large closet sized area. Thank heavens they had doors. I designed ...»
the shelves, my husband cut them out of MDF boards, I painted them with several coats of paint, and he installed them with aluminum channel. The channel allowed use of the shelf all the way to the back of the space. I counted and measured all the things in my food pantry to make the plan for how many shelves, how wide, tall and deep they needed to be. See the beginning and end result. It's so nice to be able to find things now. It turned out so nice, we did the 2nd pantry where I keep dishes, plastics, and mixed items for the kitchen!
