20 ways to use old doors

Old doors can be found pretty easily, often on the side of the road. Their size and sturdiness makes them a great candidate for repurposing them into something new, often with very little work. So this collection of ideas is all about doors and what to do with them. Whether you’re buying one new, or finding one for cheap or free – these ideas will make you think twice about the humble old door!

    Hi Gina once again love that you posted your old doors ideas amazing what one can do with old windows also am now looking for old pained windows with the wood frame going through them as is the greatest idea for a whole garden inside a glass windowed building can’t fail to have it take off as glass absorbs all the sun even in winter & surprise saw on kijiki two people had old windows for free well let them know that was making own place for gardening year round & they saved all their windows for me so am busy putting it together & taking my tomato plants which are huge & will start with them to have year round gardening so excited as know this will take off so wish me luck one problem how to set up inexpensive watering system to go inside the glass for spraying them & a really good watering when needed anyway it’ll be funalso keep me out of trouble bye for now .

    My question is how or what do you use to clean and prep the wood and windows before creating your project. I have old windows and door insert window panels but can’t find any way to clean them prior to making my projects.
    Thanks

      I would use a standard all purpose cleaner like Mr.Clean then sand it and clean it again before you start your project.

    I loved the dining table, it was gorgeous. I also loved the dressing vanity. The door used was a gorgeous door with the carving at the bottom. And then to replace the window with mirror, it is so pretty.
