I had this old cupboard door that I couldn't throw away because I thought I would be able to use it one day. That day became ... today.
I wanted to build something that would display my tiny Chinese teapots and tea accessories in a nice warm natural way, I also only had 2 hours to build this. Here is what got created ...
 |
| Original beat up old cupboard door. |
 |
| Painted the panel using a solid stain paint that was a nice retro blue / green colour. |
 |
| After it dried, I used my electric sander and sanded more than I usually would because I wanted it a lighter colour. |
 |
| I then found 4 pieces of scrap wood and cut them some what random and then pre-drilled them from the back of the panel. |
 |
| Screwed them in making sure the board stayed in place. |
 |
| All screwed and in place. Done. |
 |
| Here is the finished product. I just screwed it into the wall. |
This makes a great shelving unit for your small treasures. Another way to hang this unit would be as if it were a picture using eye screws and wire on the back. Then using a picture hanger that attaches to the wall, hang the unit on it (just make sure that the picture hang will hold the weight of the shelving unit).
Until the next moment of inspiration.
Yours warmly,
Adam.
