I am trying a new project this weekend. The ultimate "door desk". I have been wanting to try this for a while but have not had the courage to do it. Today I finally got up the nerve to buy the door. I figured I'd buy the door from The Restore (Habitat for Humanity) for $5. If I messed it up, at least I'm only out of $5 dollars, right? While at the store, I was testing out the doors to make sure that they had the right vibe. I sort of have this thing about having items used from other people and I don't know where they came from. The gentleman helping me thought it was the funniest thing. It was kind of funny though, but I think I got a good feeling from the one I chose. Anyway, I will post pictures of the progression of this "door desk" project.
Hopefully it will work fine because my 48 inch tiny ikea desk is just not doing the trick. I considered purchasing an IKEA desk, but for the same size and general idea, it would cost about $40 for the table top and $5 each for 4 legs. I figured I could sand this door, paint, polyurathan, and add legs for about $40 and have an entire desk.
