simple repurpose of cabinet doors into frames

Hi friends, I'm so glad you are here!  Today I am sharing a simple repurpose using cabinet doors.  Did you know cabinet doors can be repurposed into frames?  I used two doors from an unused china hutch to make these cute frames.

For this repurpose you will need:

Cabinet doors

Sandpaper

Wood Stain or Paint
Rag to apply the stain
paint brush
Wood filler
Sawtooth picture hangers
Double sided tape

Pictures to put inside your frames

Before

How to make the frames:

Remove all of the hardware and sand the cabinet doors with fine-grit sandpaper.  I sanded the outer part only because the picture will be placed in the middle covering it up.

I used wood filler to cover the holes.  I plan on reattaching the knobs so I didn't fill in those holes. 

I used Varathane wood stain on the part I sanded.  The color is called Sunbleached.  I purchased it at The Home Depot Shop the newest promotions at homedepot.com now! I didn't sand the middle part of the doors because that is where the pictures will be placed.  After I finished staining the frames the middle looked unfinished, so I painted it.  So glad I picked this sample up for 50 cents!   

I used sawtooth picture frame hangers on the back of the frames. 

And double sided tape to hold my pictures in place.

I cleaned the knobs with a baking powder and vinegar solution, then I reattached the knobs to the frame. 

I chose two of my own photographs to put in the frames. Hyacinth's, are one of my favorite spring flowers, I love them for their fragrance and delicate blooms. When I go grocery shopping I usually pick one or two up for my home.

I hung my frames above my mantel to give it some spring love.

I found this key at Michaels and hung it from the knob.

A pretty seashell hangs from this frame.

I hope you enjoyed this repurpose!
