Doors are usually for one thing only: entering and exiting a room or a house. Once they’ve outlived this purpose or been replaced with a new door, they often get sent straight to the garbage where they sit without any purpose. This is a real shame, because even the simplest door has a ton of DIY potential.If you have an old door hiding in your garage waiting for you bring it to the dump, don’t. Instead, use it to make one of these DIY projects instead.1. Hall treeA hall tree can do wonders for your entryway, but a new one can be expensive. Instead, find an old door and make your own. Not only is it a fun project, but you can make sure it has as much storage as you need.2. Coffee table with storage (h/t My (re)Purposed Life)If you have an old door that’s been damaged on one end, reuse the half that’s still in good shape to make this coffee table. Coffee-table storage is always useful, but if you don’t need it, simply skip the hinges.
3. Porch swing (h/t Huckleberry Lane Furniture)Can you see yourself relaxing on this adorable swing after a long, busy day? The seat of this swing was made from an old table, but you could just as easily use wood from the hardware store.
