Old cabinet door front, scrapbook paper and spray adhesive
Just a different view.  The table was one of those inexpensive tables that you are supposed to cover with fabric.  I didnt have any on hand so I just painted it brown and stenciled a cool design on top for a quick, easy and inexpensive fix.
You may have seen this photo in another post, but here are the before pix of some of the cabinet doors, just in case you havent seen them.

Just another fun use for old cabinet doors...more to come.  This is simply an old cabinet door front, spray adhesive and scrapbook paper.  A quick, easy and inexpensive way to create wall art for your home.  I thought it would be a fun way to decorate for the holidays too.  You could take your regular art pieces down and replace it with a holiday themed creation.  The door cost me $2 and the paper was $.59!  Not bad for $3 bucks!  I did have to paint two of the door fronts but just used what I had on hand (ivory and an antique glaze)  The possibilities are endless.

I think the square ones give such a great look than the typical rectangular shape doors usually are. You have created a very beautiful pc. of art for next to nothing. Awesome idea!
Thanks for sharing this fabulous project.
