Can you believe my dear hubby threw this perfectly good piece of an old screen door in the trash bin at the lake. It is actually a small dumpster and I had to do a little dumpster diving to retrieve this wonderful piece of wood. I am sure the neighbors wondered who was throwing away that pair of legs sticking out of the trash.
Just look what a little paint, some distressing and a few swipes with some chalkboard paint can do. My only expense was the coat hooks at $3.00 each and we have a wonderful message center and a place to hang coats.
Now I just have decide if I should keep it or take it to the antique store. Any votes?

Wow, a fabulous transformation ! I love it !
I agree that was a great transformation! Loved it, Sandie
I love it! It came out so cute.
Transformation indeed. That is a work of art.... What was the man thinking!!! LJ
Wonderful vision! To see this, in its new form. And then, do it. :-)
If you have a neat place for it, why not keep it awhile? You can always sell it, later...

I'm so glad you saved that piece of wood, Stella. What a transformation. I love it, and, personally, I would keep it for myself.
Wow Stella. I just love it. He just did not see the potential you did. LOL!
Shame on him for tossing that out! did he not know how talented you are and could use that? You have a creative eye!
Thank you for stopping over, I will be following you, you are a crafty one!
GOD bless and keep you safe.
That's really beautiful and I think you should keep it, if you have a place for it...
You are amazing! That looks wonderful.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia;)
I'm not crafty at all, but I could do that with your directions! (If I had an old door...and somebody else to do the dumpster-diving!) I really really love this.
