Junk Chic Cottage

Door Hoarder Alert!!!! Ha ha!!!! I just was at Vintage https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vintage-Yesterdays-Memories-Todays-Treasures/85235129743 one of my favorite shops this week end and tucked in the corner with a lot of stuff hanging off her, there she was a chippy old door whispering to me, well actually yelling for me to come look at her!!!!!

I needed another old chippy door like I needed another hole in my head but once I laid eyes on her I was smitten and the price was great too.  So I brought her home with every intention of putting her into my office area.  Well.........

That vision did not work out so well.  So while I was wondering what I was going to do with this chippy little beauty I saw the door in my laundry room to the storage room was needing a little update.  So I got the hubby to take some measurements and of course my new chippy door was not going to fit, too big but the hubby said no problem I have tools!!!!! Love a man with tools and who knows how to use them!!!!! So he shaved off some of the door and rebuilt it some and now it fits perfectly in where the old door was.

This is the door I had.  Just a stock door that leads from my mudd room into a storage room.  I had hung the old vintage ironing table I got awhile back on this door.

Here is the "new" old chippy door.  Her window was busted out and they had an old piece of plastic in the window so my hubby got some MDF board that was already painted with chalk board paint.  I did not know you could get these already painted with chalk board paint.  So that saved me having to paint the MDF board.

I love this new old door with the chalk board.  Gives a more vintage fun feel to the laundry room. 

I re hung the old vintage ironing board on the wall near the window.

I re hung my old vintage hangers and door knob hanger on this wall.  So it is all good I found new homes for the stuff that was on the original door.

I am loving my new door.  Thanks to my wonderful husband for his talents in making my visions work.  I love the history this piece has and love the character it gives to the laundry/mud room.
Hope you have a great week.  Thanks for visiting.
