I love a good repurposed project and today I’ve got a pile of amazing projects that all repurpose old doors!  After seeing these unique and fun ideas, you’ll never pass by a discarded door again.  And if you don’t have a discarded door, head to ReStore {owned by Habitat for Humanity} for a huge selection of well-priced old doors!  {A few of these tutorials no longer exist online so you won’t find a link below but most can be figured out by anyone with a DIY background.}

Clever Ways to Upcycle Old Doors

This privacy screen is such a clever idea.  I love that it mixes different styles, heights and colors.  They all look fabulous together, don’t they?  I’d love this in my house or in my yard.

A shelf is a clever way to repurpose an old door.  I really like that the original hardware was kept for this project.

An old door can be repurposed into a beautiful potting bench.  This would also make a great outdoor sideboard or buffet for summer entertaining.

How about turning an old door into a coffee table?  And once again, the hardware stayed which adds a fun and unexpected element to the table.

Would you ever think to repurpose an old door into a couch?  I’m certain I wouldn’t.  The clean lines and dark color on this couch make it look quite traditional, not something you expect in an upcycled project.

This idea is one of my favorites: an old door turned into a clock!  I pinned this to my pinterest boards a long time ago and would love to make it one of these days.  It makes such a great impact piece for any room!

I also love a door turned into a chalkboard.  Is there anything that doesn’t make an awesome chalkboard?  I made my own version a few years ago, adding a framed chalkboard to a door.

This elegant architectural headboard is also made from a repurposed door.  The added trim adds a great finishing touch and really makes it look special.

I absolutely love this repurposed project: a door turned headboard turned bench … what a life that door has had!  This bench would be beautiful indoors or out.

    Great projects! I’ve seen people use doors as a screen at a wedding before. The groom’s brother made the ensemble and it was really cool! The middle door opened and they used it like a wedding arch.
