Make a Shelf Out of a Door

**So excited for the Recessionista Party tonight! If you can't come tonight, Recessionista now has some products available for purchase on their site. Just click the button on my sidebar to see what is available.



My hubby and I made this corner shelf out of an old bi-fold closet door we had laying around. I first got the idea here at Little Birdie Secrets and remembered the door we had in our storage room.



It was so easy and really did not involve a lot of work. It took us about 1.5 hours to make (not including the painting). Since the door was a bi-fold, we didn't even have to cut the door in half. We used a packaged door frame molding for the molding around the shelf and added three shelves on the inside. Now I need to paint my topiary tree pot anitqued black. Stayed tuned for a tutorial so you can make your own shelf.

I've seen these made from old doors, but never a bi-fold. Looks great!

Love these shelves! It's nice having something cute for the corner. I made one from an old door years ago and still love and use it today.
