Easy $1 Cabinet door DIY

02.28.20

Who loves to repurpose, recycle, reuse & reduce?  I was at the Habitat store the other day while in DesMoines and as always, I find fun treasures.  Amongst the pile of doors and cabinets were some small to medium sized cabinet doors and one in particular stood out.  Nothing flashy about it, I just loved the size and it was $1.  Hence my easy $1 cabinet door DIY that I’m sharing with you today.

Seriously, again…nothing totally outstanding about this cabinet door other than I loved the small size, the price and the grooves in the wood.

Also, I love cabinet doors because you can do so much with them.  In the past I have done several projects with cabinet doors and you can always find some for a steal at the Habitat store.  They always seem to have quite a stash of ’em!

The other thing I love about Habitat stores—the many items that you can reuse, and with a little creativity—can repurpose into something new.  Very inexpensive projects.

Easy $1 cabinet door DIY

This is the easiest DIY you will probably find.  Takes little to know effort or knowledge of crafting to do.

There is literally very minimal prep work for this mini door.  Which included some cleaning, filling and sanding the original holes that were in it from the previous hardware (which also happened to be off center). I added some sanding around the edges and throughout just to give it some rustic appeal.  I didn’t do any painting as it had a white finish and was in great shape other than the original hardware holes.

After applying a vinyl “HOME” lettering which I made with my Cricut, it was on to attaching a bronze rubbed finish drawer pull, which I also snatched at the same store for $1.  I screwed a small hanger on the back and that was it!  When it was all said and done, not bad for a piece of wall art that cost $2 to make, right?  And it was done in less than an hour.

A simple grosgrain ribbon bow attached to a large iron key hung from the drawer pull.  It hangs right next to the display of old house pictures in the foyer.

Simple and sweet.  Just how I like most things.  Isn’t this the cutest and super easy $1 cabinet door DIY?  It took a few minutes to do and looks fabulous in this old house!  Really guys, go snatch you a small cabinet door to repurpose!

Speaking of sweet… stay tuned for the recipe on my next post!  Happy weekend loves ~ ❤︎

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.

And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!

Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂

Boo and I were shopping in DesMoines and we stopped in at a local tortilleria as I had ordered some masa. However they informed me they only sell in 10 pounds or more... so out the window went my “I’ll just get 5 pounds of masa for tamales” plan. Ten pounds of masa later, I immediately called my sister for backup help! Lol
.
So today is the day for tamales!  First time I’ll make ‘em since my mommas been gone.  So I’m hoping she’s watching and guiding me along. 
.
On a good note... the masa texture looks amazing so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!!! Wish me luck!

Well, it’s a different word for a Butler’s pantry. We’ve been updating ours and I find that I’m not a Butler’s pantry kinda girl. I replaced the original door with this beauty of a door I snatched for $12! I repaired the broken panes and  took a piece of plywood to make a new center panel. I then added these details on it. 
.
Our home was built for the David Dancer family in 1883. I added the wash, fold, etc. as the space also houses our laundry room. One of these days I can show you the REST of the space but until now, you get a peek at the lovely old door leading into our scullery!
