I used the door to our entertainment center to make this frame for the print I purchased last week. It is finished and here is how I did it.
First I brought it outside and gave it a sanding. I used the palm sander hiding behind the paint can.
I used Benjamin Moore paint (White Linen) left over from another project, and wood glue to cover-up the holes in the door.
Remember this is where it came from
I reused just about every piece of this entertainment center
The next step was to take the rubber off the glass. Cover the holes and paint it.
I left the small black hardware on the door. I thought they would be perfect to use as the picture hanger. After it was painted I was ready to put the print in and hang it with this wire.
Once the wire was in place I didn't like the way it looked because you can see it hanging off the frame. So I needed a plan B. Looking around my office... I spy with my little eye TWINE.
There it is sitting on the corner of the draw turned shelf.
Next I knotted the twine on the hardware. I found the knobs from the drawers and door that I took off the entertainment center and painted one of them.
Here it is on the wall. I glued the knob on the screw.
So there you have it. How I changed the door into a frame for this sweet print that makes me smile.
