Scraps to Storage
Hey everyone! It's Jessica with This -N- That Furniture and Crafts and I just had to show you guys how we came up with a storage closet out of scrap wood we had ling around. This closet is a bit on the thrifty side because we also utilized an old worn out bookshelf that had been discarded as part of this project. I'm all about saving some money and making use of items you think no longer have a purpose.
For this project I used the following:
- 11 1 in. x 6 in. x 8 ft. Pressure Treated Pine Dog-Ear Fence planks (these are usually around $3.00 each at your local Home Depot but we use these a lot and happened to have some leftover from a previous project.)
- 1 sheet of 1/8 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. Hardwood Plywood Underlayment Specialty Panel
- 6 shelves from an old standing bookcase, the sides were gone but the shelving themselves were still in great condition
- 2 in. brad nails
- Cabinet screws
- Wood Glue
- Contact Paper
We began by creating the doors which required 3 pine pickets per door. We left the dogged ear shape on the pickets for a unique look and applied glue and brad nailed them together.
Next we cut our plywood panel to the size we wanted. We then used a total of 5 more pickets and assembled the two sides the same way we did the doors.
Then we attached the doors and decided to wood burn the outside for a rustic look. The Texas is free handed and we were just having some fun seeing what we could do. This closet was for personal use and the details weren't that important.
There is it! All done and in it's new home. It was rather simple and is quite functional. We did repurpose some old dresser handles in place of knobs on the closet.
