Repurposed Cabinet Door - Chalk Board

What is it about the New Year that makes everyone want to be organized? The organization bug has hit me too. I want to go through my whole house and organize everything. I started out my organization with this cabinet door that I turned into a chalk board. I have absolutely loved my menu board and makes it so easy for dinner time.

I wanted something to help me with after school snacking. I try really hard to have this part in our house organized, but just hasn't happened or lasted very long. So I made this chalk board that I can write our daily snack and it's big enough I could even do the whole week.
I can look at this daily and know what the kids have chosen for their daily snack and have it ready when they come through the door.
I painted the outside of the cabinet door white and then used chalk board paint in the center of the door. After everything dried completely I sanded the edges.
I make my weekly menu on Sunday's and now I will add the snack to our new chalk board.
Have you caught the organizing bug? What are you organizing?

Cabinet Door turned into Table Center Piece

I have had this done for awhile, but forgot to post it. I took an old cabinet door, painted it white, added handles and then mod podge burlap to the middle of the cabinet door. I have it sitting on my kitchen table as a center piece. It was extremely easy and I LOVE the results.
This is what I currently have on it. I still need to add rustic stars to the fireworks, but still loving the look.

Have a great day!

Cupboard Door Chalkboard!

I had a little late night and nap time fun before Christmas making chalkboards for my kids. I was so into it I forgot to take before, during, and after photos. So here are the finished products!
This one is Olianna's, now that she is using it I wish I would have put her name on one of the short sides because she likes to stand it up and write.
Here is Kesa's. I had a lot of fun with scrapbook paper and mod podge! What a great invention!!
All it took to make these fun chalkboards was the cupboard door, chalkboard paint, and a color paint of your choice. Oh, you also may want scrapbook paper, stickers, and mod podge!! For my son's I painted his dark blue and didn't add the decorations. My kids have had a lot of fun with this gift. The best part of all is that it didn't cost very much to make!!!

Cabinet Door Turned into a Towel Rack

I made this towel rack for my kids' bathroom. I made it from a cabinet door!

This is the before picture - well sort of, I got so excited about this project that I forgot to take a picture of what it looked like, but this cabinet door looked exactly like the one I used for the towel rack, just a little bit different shape.

I sanded it.

Painted it and then sanded the edges of the cabinet door.

Added the knobs for the towels to hang on. I did three, since I have three kids and they will each have a place for their towel.

Hung it on the wall.

And it's ready to be used. Love how it turned out and it beats the old standard metal one that came with the house. And the fact that this project didn't cost anything, cabinet door was free and I had the knobs on hand.
