Riddle: What do you get when you cross an
old solid wood door with a twin bed head/footboards?
(from the D.I. -BTW)
Answer: a unique coffee table!
First, we shortened the door, then cut the head/foot boards down with the jigsaw, screwed/glued in the posts as legs to the door.
What we came up with was an unique looking coffee table.
After a coat of paint, sanding and a black glaze treatment, the end result is FUN! I still plan to fill the doorknob hole with an old rustic door knob. I know- I know- I am sooooo weird. Ammon just bites his tongue, but I think that it is fun to make my own furniture. Nobody else will ever have one like it. Besides, what's the harm. Sure was nice to have a day off to do one of my many projects bouncing around in my head.

Your creative button must be stuck in the "ON" position. I'm creative too, but most of what I create falls in the "House that Jack Built" category.
