I love upcycling projects that repurpose an old, junky item into a totally gorgeous and one-of-a-kind new piece for my home.
The idea of taking furniture that was once thought to be unusable and giving it new life with a cool DIY project is incredibly impressive — like with this old cable spool that was creatively transformed into an upscale bar table.
And when I discovered what DIY-ers across the internet were doing with their old screen and storm doors, I was absolutely blown away!
There are a seemingly endless number of ways to take a rusting outside door and turn it into a home addition straight out of your favorite magazine, with DIY chalk message boards, unique pieces of art, and repurposed armoire doors.
Rather than throwing away their old storm doors, these DIY-ers gave them a few coats of fresh paint, and suddenly the sky was the limit!
Which of these screen and storm door upcycles would you want in your home? Let us know in the comments.
