Similar to cutting boards, cabinet doors (or cupboard doors, depending on your lingo) are an amazing DIY canvas. A large blank expanse of wood, painted or not, with minimal prep work to be done- usually limited to removing handles and hinges. And stores like Habitat ReStore or other architectural salvage stores almost ALWAYS have a large selection of them.
A large and inexpensive supply make cupboard doors a fantastic source of upcycling inspiration! Now, I haven’t repurposed many cupboard doors yet- but I have made a few repurposed projects with them. Like this patriotic sign that recreates the look of vintage metal signs…
And this cabinet door that I used to display some architectural salvage…
But other bloggers? They have repurposed cabinet doors in more ways than I can count! And UNLIKE cutting boards, old cabinet doors have even more reuse options because they are typically bigger and often made of solid (or nearly solid) wood.
But, I digress! I’ve gathered some AMAZING upcycling ideas and repurosed projects using old doors from kitchen cabinets to inspire you. From simple signs to completely new furniture, I’m quite certain there’s an upcycled cupboard door in your future.
