Another Met Monday with Susan from Between Naps On The Porch. Is it just me or do the weeks go by so fast? Be sure to visit her for more great transformations.
I'm cheating a bit this week because I don't have an accurate "before" picture to show you. If I did, it would have been a picture of trash by the road. Two houses ago our neighbors were getting a new front door. They lived in an adorable bungalow and the door was equally cute. When I found out the old door was going in the garbage, I asked them for it of course. It stood behind our ugly TV in that house. I had planned on getting some tall shutters for behind the TV but this door ended up doing just what I wanted...taking some attention away from the obnoxiousness in the corner. So here is my sorry excuse for a "before" pic.
And here is what it is doing today. I added some hooks and a planter box and it serves a wonderful purpose in our Everything Room. Keys are now organized and the box holds envelopes, stamps, and other bill paying stuff by the computer desk.
Thank you so much for visiting me. I can't wait to go see what you all have to share today!

I'm soooo glad you saved that wonderful door...can't believe they were going to toss it!!! Love how you are using it! You are so brave to put your to do list on your sidebar. I'd feel so guilty when mine sat there and nothing was being done...well, that's how MY list would look. :-) Great Met Monday post! Susan
What a fun idea. Doors have so much character and can be used for anything creative.
Awesome! That's exactly what I'm looking for to use as a headboard! Can't wait to see more pictures of your room!
That looks wonderful!! Who would throw out a beautiful door like that!!

Thanks for rescuing that wonderful door. Like what you did with it. I was doing something just today and halfway through I thought...should have taken a before picture. This blog puts new steps in everything we do.
Looking forward to what you and mom do.

Oh you lucky girl! :o) What a treasure that sweet old door is. I can only imagine the stories it could tell of people coming and going. :o)
I adore the design you went with for the door. It was so clever to hang the hooks and metal basket! It looks great!
Your list on your side bar is a great idea too! I wrote mine out the other day and almost took a picture to post. :o) That way I can see the progress! :o)
