1. DIY Art Desk
What better way to put those old cabinet doors to great use than by creating art desks for your little ones? Painted in bright colors and with tiny little legs, these desks are the cutest way to put those cabinet doors to use. They're also the perfect way to keep kids busy when they can't get outside and they're small enough to easily store away under the bed or on a closet shelf.

2. DIY Cabinet Door Bench
What a great bench! I love this idea of turning those old cabinet doors into a bench. This would be great for sitting on the porch or in the foyer. Have you ever priced a porch bench? Those things are pretty expensive but you can make one, probably for free, if you have a couple of old cabinet doors on hand. The legs are two by fours and the seat and back are made from cabinet doors. This is a brilliant way to repurpose those doors!

3. Repurposed Cabinet Door Bulletin Board
You can easily turn that old cabinet door into a great bulletin board with just a few supplies and a bit of time. This works well with cabinet doors that have raised frames. Just take the frame off – very carefully – and add corkboard to the inside. You can then put the frame back in place, maybe paint it a different color to make it really stand out. You'll have the actual inside of the cabinet door to use in other projects.

4. Chalkboard From Cabinet Door
I love chalkboards. I mean really, they're so handy to have in the kitchen for keeping grocery items listed as you need them and even leaving notes for the family – meatloaf in the fridge, etc. This chalkboard is made from an old cabinet door and it's gorgeous and so functional! You just paint the cabinet door with chalkboard paint. If you're using a paneled or framed door, you can paint the frame to match your kitchen and have a lovely chalkboard that goes perfectly with your décor.

5. Easy DIY Porch Décor
These thin cabinet doors turned porch décor are gorgeous. They're also really simple to DIY. You can also use wider cabinet doors if that's what you have on hand. Just paint them with chalkboard paint and leave a nice welcome message or you could paint them a bright color and paint your message on them if you prefer. Either way, they're sure to make your porch instantly warm and inviting.

6. Repurposed Cabinet Door Chess Board
Do you play chess? It's a game of strategy for sure and it's a lot of fun. What's also fun is this gorgeous chess board that is repurposed from an old cabinet door. Imagine playing with friends and telling them that you made the board yourself! This is a simple project and you can customize the colors to match your décor. I love this project and you're sure to love it too – even if you don't yet play the game.

7. Beautiful DIY Cabinet Door Clock
A gorgeous DIY clock could be in your future when you use those old cabinet doors to create it. This gives you so much room to personalize! Just paint, stain, or otherwise decorate that cabinet door and then add a clock kit. Make the numbers however you want and make the clock work for any room in your home depending on how you color it.

8. DIY Dry Erase Board
You can easily turn an old cabinet door into a dry erase board. Dry erase boards are great for keeping lists or messages and they're easy to wipe clean and redo. You'll want a door that has a frame around it. Just design the frame however you want and then add Plexiglas to the section inside the frame. Then buy a few dry erase markers – you can get them at the Dollar Store for less than $1 each – and you're all set.

9. Repurposed Cabinet Door Easel
This cabinet door turned easel would be great for so many things. You can give it away as a gift to someone who loves art or use it yourself around the house. I love the idea of putting this on the front porch for welcome messages or you could use it to display pictures or collages or even use it as an actual easel for art. It's very flexible and so very easy to make.

10. Decorative Cabinet Door Picture Frame
That otherwise useless cabinet door would make a gorgeous picture frame. You'll want to clean and stain or paint the door however you want it to look and then give it plenty of time to dry. Once it's ready, just drill holes to attach hangers and then you can easily hang your pictures from clips. This is a great idea if you tend to like to change out your pictures from time to time.

11. DIY Headboard From Cabinet Doors
If you've been thinking of redecorating the bedroom, a new headboard will make a profound difference in how the room looks. And, you don't have to buy a new bedroom suite or spend a fortune on a new headboard. You can make one yourself with old cabinet doors and give your room a wonderful farmhouse look. These look great stained or painted, although I much prefer the distressed look, which you can also do with this DIY headboard.

12. Rustic Wall Décor From Old Cabinet Doors
I really love the rustic look which is why I adore these glass signs made from old cabinet doors. I think they would be great as house signs – just put your last name and your house number on them and hang them on your porch. Or, use them indoors for a little added décor. You can put any number of things on them from your family name to some inspirational words or quotes. They would also make wonderful gifts.

13. Rustic Jewelry Organizer
That old cabinet door is the perfect start for this rustic jewelry organizer. Rods hold your necklaces and bracelets in place and the handle is attached to the bottom for holding additional jewelry or you could store scarves on it, too. You just hang it on the wall and get that jewelry put in its place once and for all. It would be a really easy project but if you'd rather buy it, I found this one on Etsy for $40.

14. DIY Kids Coat Hanger
This great wall peg board is perfect for keeping your little ones' coats put neatly away and you can easily DIY it from an old cabinet door. Smaller doors may work best depending on how much wall space you have, but you could easily use this concept on a larger door, too. Decorate it to match your little one's room and you've got the perfect organization tool for coats and backpacks.

15. Handmade Laundry Sign From Cabinet Door
This laundry sign can be made with those smaller cabinet doors and it has such a lovely rustic farmhouse appeal. I love the inset and you can paint this whatever color you need to match your laundry room – it spray paints pretty easily. I love the entire look of this. You could also add a few small pegs to the bottom or some small clothespins and have a great place to hang those orphaned socks until you find their matches.
