10 DIY Projects You Can Make With Old Cabinet Doors

If you’ve ever been to a Habitat For Humanity ReStore, then you know that cabinet doors are abundant and cheap.  Every since my trip there a few weeks back, when I saw the row after row with stack after stack of brand new cabinet doors, I’ve been trying to think of projects that can be made with cabinet doors.

Are you aware that cabinet doors can be used for more than just hiding stacks of dishes in your kitchen cabinets?  Oh, there’s a whole world of possibilities out there!  Here are some of the great projects I found made out of cabinet doors.


 

1.  Turn a cabinet door into a chalkboard:

So have you used cabinet doors in creative ways?  Chalkboards and cork boards are definitely the “go to” craft that people like to make with old cabinet doors, but there are so many other creative ways that people have used them!  If you have a brilliant idea, please share!

  1. Great ideas I hadn’t thought of! I make chalkboards out of cabinet doors, but I love all the other uses! I just found some extra doors in the garbage. Now I have more ideas! Thanks for sharing. -K

  2. Love the ideas. I had made my mind up about some large cabinet doors that I had bought to use as changing screens. (I do alterations 🙁 ) I am making a frame for underneath these doors using 1x4s and some antique spindles from stair hand rails. They are 2.50 each. The doors have recessed panels, top and bottom. I figured that I could have glass cut to drop in these, putting pics and such in there. Ready to go now! Thanks for the neat ideas. I plan on using a couple.

  3. I’m not sure which idea I like the best. I think they’re all great!! We have a Habitat store nearby and I love shopping there and looking for new ideas. So these are great!
    By the way, I like your name too. 🙂
