Have an old door sitting around? Why not repurpose it? There are many uses for old doors, but if you need a desk or table, check this beauty out!
I saw this lovely home office & studio at & Unlimited Dogs (check out her dog photography, amazing!) and thought you would all enjoy a little peek. Meredith gave me permission to show you her fabulous room and her DIY desk!
We talked here yesterday about creating a little space of your own, and if you have room for a desk or work table, this is a fabulous way to make one yourself! It is not only functional, but very charming too!
- One old door
- Glass for desk surface
- Two sawhorses
I love how open and airy the saw horses look. But if you are short on space or need a place for files, you could also substitute file cabinets!
How do you use old doors? Other than using them as, well, doors, I’ve seen them set against a wall for architectural interest, hung on a wall as art, made into headboards…what are some other good ideas for using old doors? You guys are so good with ideas.
Thanks Meredith, for sharing your lovely studio and office!

Leisa @ IdeaMoms inspiring blog post..My Cheerful New Laundry Room
I used an old flat door with two half-height filing cabinets to hold it up (a few bricks on top of the cabinets adjusted the height) for my desk until my son took the system to college with him. I am going to set up a new system with bookcases set sideways as the base. I like a door because it hold the computer system, a TV, a small tabletop bookcase, and a ton of supplies, all in one place. The next unit I use will have a small plastic storage drawer system on it as well. Then, I can just put a screen around the whole unit when I want it to be out of sight.
I want to do something like this but how do you connect the door and sawhorses together?
Thanks!

Great idea! I like the idea of a paneled door. Leaves a space for artwork or memorabelia between the glass and the panel. Thanks for the post!
