If you are looking for a DIY project that is unique, vintage and super stylish, you may want to try making furniture from old doors. Since vintage doors are already oozing with tons of character, they make a great base for a variety of different furniture pieces.

You can find old doors at architectural salvage stores. I often see stores that are stocked full of these wonderful doors. With the variety of styles and sizes available, it should be no problem finding one for in a project.

Here is a collection of furniture made from doors that are especially creative and unique:

Shelving units, on their own, aren’t always that interesting or stylish. However, one made from an old door is decorative even if you don’t have a lot to put on those shelves. This shelving unit is is full of style.

5. Vintage Door Headboard

I have seen a lot of instances of vintage doors used as headboards. Some are very simple with a couple used together standing vertically and just leaning up against the wall. Others are attached to boards horizontally like this one. However, I really like the addition of the molding, to the top of the door, in this example. If the door has flaky paint, it is a good idea to coat the headboard with polyurethane to seal.
