Vintage Door Panels

 

I recently found some great vintage cabinet door panels at an antique mall.  They are wonderfully faded and perfectly chippy!   I bought different colors and different sizes at a cost of $4.00 - $8.00 per panel.

It has been fun using them as the background for other elements.  However, it has been more of a challenge than I thought!!!

I have sold a couple of the successful ones in my Etsy shop.

 

 

This one made a great hanger for the boudoir.

 

The owl hook is also vintage.  (The customer loved owls.)

 

I added a double, vintage iron sconce to this old drawer front.

 

It was definitely a favorite.

It was hanging here at BCH while I had it listed.

I fell in love with it and decided to keep it.

When I went to take it out of the shop, it had sold!!!

 

 

So, I decided to make another one for myself

 

(plan A)

I used another white door panel.

 

                I had this wreath with the cupids… Hobby Lobby.

 

I painted a metal hook white and

I made the number on the computer as a pattern to paint inside the wreath.

 

I thought these elements had potential…but guess what?

I didn’t love it!

I KNOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE AFTER PHOTOGRAPH!!!

SORRY,  I DIDN’T TAKE ONE…

I JUST TOOK IT APART AND STARTED ON PLAN B.

 

(PLAN B)

I flipped it over to the equally charming black side.

 

I found these stick on letters left over from another project.

 

I assembled it.

 

I didn’t like this either…but at least I photographed it this time!

 

(On To Plan C)

I Give Up!!! 

It will be a towel holder until I come up with another idea.

 

 

Can You Handle One More Bad Idea ???

Get ready, this one is really B-A-D!

 

 

I TOLD YOU!!!   What on Earth was I thinking?

I purchased this ragamuffiny, Captain Hookless , Czar - looking dude thinking it was cool. 

I thought it looked like something off an old ship that had been in the ocean for hundreds of years.

The sad part is that I used my only gray panel. 

  It’s glued on with lots of Gorilla Glue and I can’t get it off!

I am going to keep trying to pry it off.  If I am not successful, 

I can always list it at Halloween!

 

 

I only have two more door panels left.

 

The wood grain and color on the bottom one is fabulous! 

 

Maybe, I will paint this little mirror white and use it.

The only problem is…I don’t trust my ideas anymore!!!

 

I bought this door with the intentions of taking it apart and using the panels.

Now, I have changed my mind.

It is better off remaining a door until I get my mojo back!!!
