Repurposed Doors: Functional Furniture

Use extra doors lying around your home, or purchase them cheaply from yard sales or your local hardware store.

Room Divider: Separate open spaces into private areas with a handcrafted closet door room divider. With just a few closet doors and basic hardware, you can give one room multiple purposes, like a dual entertaining and home office area.

Tabletop Divider: When not used for eating, the kitchen table often becomes a workplace for children and adults alike. Divide the space into private areas with our clever cabinet door divider.

Breakfast Bar: Need a place to enjoy a quick bite or sip coffee while reading the morning paper? Round up some everyday furniture, then follow our easy step-by-step instructions to construct your very own breakfast bar.

Filing Cabinet Desk: Filing cabinets are the perfect way to control paper clutter, but they make great desks, too! Top your filing cabinet with a door panel, then add extra support with legs to make a functional filing cabinet desk.

Kitchen Table: Make a one-of-a-kind kitchen table that’s pretty and practical. With our simple tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a decorative mosaic table that doubles as a storage solution.

Tip: Consider using doors when building new furniture pieces such as bed frames, headboards, coffee tables and benches.

Tip: Brighten up your home and help renew its surfaces with Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser® Original. It will help your walls, baseboards, floors, switch plates, blinds and more look like new by easily removing scuff marks and dirt.
