I Finally Got The Nerve To Ask My Neighbor Why She Has A Sideways Door

When it comes to DIY projects, there are a million ways to execute an idea. If you want to create a table, you could use a piece of scrap wood lying around your garage. You could also use a piece of metal – and if you’re feeling very creative, you can gather a lot of pennies and adhere them to the table’s surface using epoxy – and give your table a wonderful shine that can only be enhanced by the stare of good old President Abraham Lincoln.

Upcycling is a way of using something that has lost all value – like a pile of pennies – to put it to new use. Pennies are not the only thing that can be upcycled. You can upcycle scrap wood, salvaged pieces of the kitchen like old cabinets and more. You can also use old doors that have since been taken down and seem utterly useless.

Old doors can make the perfect upcycled item. You can use them to create some privacy via an outdoor nook in your yard or the corner of your garden. These can make great additions to any property and add a lot of value. Just attach the doors with some hinges, and you can create a covered area to relax in when the sun is relentlessly beating down on your head.

And while you’re spending time in your yard, you might as well consider the obvious – or not so obvious, depending on how you look at it – and build a garden fence with your leftover collection of doors. You can use these doors to attract attention to a certain part of your property or to keep unwanted critters away.

As a nightstand, a door makes a great addition to a room. Since it is quite tall compared to the height of a bed, the top of the door provides space for you to add an attachment or an adornment that can really spruce up a room.

And with that, we come to the real reason why it is a genius idea to mount a door sideways inside your home. When you do, you can create a folding table that can become the perfect place to fold laundry and keep things organized. Since it folds up and down, the door on the wall trick can help you save square footage as well.

Don’t forget to have some fun with your leftover doors, too. Upcycling an old door to become a bar or a summer drink station can be the perfect way to put it to good use when you thought it had lost all usability. This project is not only adorable to look at but can be customized to fit your unique design style, whether it is Bohemian or Farmhouse.

Finally, use your old door to create a great place to sit. Turning a grungy door into a superb bench is a great way to upcycle the otherwise useless material. Besides, a bench can offer you a place to forge many more great memories.
