Repurposed Cabinet Door Hooks

I just finished a fun little project that’s also adding some practical function to Luke’s room: repurposed cabinet door hooks.

On my first jaunt to the Habitat ReStore, I picked up an old cabinet door for $1.  I always say it, but ReStore is one of the best places to find old salvabed cabinet doors.  They usually have them in bulk and the price is unbeatable.  On my second trip, I came across some neat Western-style knobs and drawer pulls and decided I’d do something for Luke’s cowboy room.


Luke is constantly breaking hangers when he yanks his hoodies down so I decided to give him a place in his room to hang his hoodies … a place that was well within reach and didn’t involve plastic hangers.



I sanded the cabinet door just enough to get rid of any obvious bumps and filled in the hole left by the existing knob.  I added a few coats of Rustoleum Heirloom White spray paint, and once it was dry, I distressed the edges a bit with fine sandpaper.  Then I painted on a coat of Ralph Lauren Glaze and quickly wiped it off.  The glazed soaked into the distressed edges and darkened the white paint, giving it a bit of a vintage feel that I love.  I would actually love to do my kitchen cabinets like this.

I measured, drilled holes, inserted the new knobs, and hung it on Luke’s bedroom wall.

Hoodies are in place and Luke loves it … and he can easily hang his things without help and without piles of broken hangers.

    I have a cabinet door that is stitting in the garage waiting for me to do the same thing…. I could not decide if I wanted to keep if for the main house… but putting in my sons room like you did is a really good idea!
