I found this old solid wood door and want to use it as part of a “coffee bar” area or with a photo gallery... the inserts have been chalkboard painted & the frame is beige (lots of paint came off when I cleaned it, but I think I like the distressed look) Dimensions: 72” x 20” Ideas and helpful tips?? Thanks, hometalkers!
You could add hooks to the white parts to hang mugs on and then slide a table in front or add a shelf for all the coffee supplies.
Nice find here's simple one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBmbcRUO1R8 HALL TREE /COFFEE BAR? https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Excellent example with a detailed how-to video! Thanks, Lynn!
It's very versatile you could try the distressed look for a while, then change it up . It' a fun piece and can evolve along with your organizational needs, your color schemes or just to introduce a new color to the mix for variety. I love it, have fun !
OR you could hang it sideways and put pictures in the panels. Then hang it any where you have the open space.
Hi you could also use it as a table top for your coffee bar just put a sheet of tempered glass or Plexiglas over the top so you have a level surface and it won't damage any of the photos you are planning on using in the inset spaces
