On Saturday I was doing some rearranging and decided that I needed one more outdoor surface to decorate, but it also had to be functional. I went into the garage to look at my inventory. I came out with an old door (doesn't everyone have an inventory of old doors?), pre-painted stair balusters, leftover crown moulding, and a few pieces of lumber. Then I enlisted the help of my husband, who fortunately, was very willing to cooperate. He's such a good man!
We cut down the door to the right sizeand nailed it onto the frame work.
We nailed the crown molding on flat against the frame.
I painted and distressed the door and molding.And this is the finished project:
A tall sofa table/sideboard.
I promise that tomorrow I'll be readyto show the finished porch project. . .maybe.

Love it and that is exactly what I would do too! I love your blog so much and am enjoying your inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
I'm envious that you have inventory in your garage to work with. I have a few odds and ends, but nothing I could build a piece of furniture out of! I like that you gave the top a splash of colour.
Looking forwards to seeing it all put together. :)
I love this great project! And the red--you are a girl after my own heart Ü!
You rock! I love that idea... make sme wish I had an extra door just hanging around.. oh yeah and a husband that would help out, hehe Susie H~
I absolutly love the crown moulding!!Great job! I am amazed with your talent!
I'm impressed that you were able to just "throw a table together" from stuff you already had. The recesses in the door make for a very interesting table top. Your finished porch looks very inviting and cozy!
Great job. Looks very relaxing!
We made one of these years ago, we love it and it is a great conversation piece.
