Thinking Big!
December 26th, 2008 in member junkThis was one of the first things I made when I decided to be a full-time junker. I felt like I needed something big. And this fits the bill -- a couch made from 3 old doors. It doesn't work for every decore, but it would be great at a cottage, in a sunroom or on a back porch. And it must be comfy, because everytime I bring one of my kids to the shop to "help" me, I find them laying on it.
I've been doing a lot of smaller projects lately, but with Christmas over, I'm starting to think big again. YEAH!

Old doors are great to work with (as you know) and can become so many things. They're the foundation of every great junk stash! In this project, it doesn't show in the picture but the seat section is another door. I wanted it to be more comfortable so I cut a piece of paneling the same size, cut a piece of foam cushion, spray glued them together, covered the whole thing with chenille and tacked it down on the back. Then I set this on the seat and pinner nailed in just a few spots (pulling the fabric up after) to hold it in place. Mostly because I hate sewing cushion covers. Have fun with all your doors!
