cabinet doors

I was feeling adventurous last week and took a little trip to my local Habitat ReStore. I've been wanting to go forever and decided my surprise day off last Friday (with my 4-year-old son at daycare) was the perfect opportunity. I discovered they sold cabinet doors. Amazing pieces of beautifully framed solid wood for $2. So I loaded up a cart with 12 cabinet doors and 2 drawer fronts, paid $14.98 for my treasures and headed for home. I'm pretty sure the guy at the cash register thought I was nuts. I'm glad my son wasn't with me because I'm sure he would have been asking "why do we need so many doors?" over and over and over again. I don't know why I need so many doors. I just do. My favorite find was this one. . .



$2 for a beautiful square door with a decorative raised panel. I have big plans for this one and it's already had a couple coats of spray paint. Hopefully I'll have a project to share soon. The other doors are still in my trunk since I'm not sure where I'm going to put them all!
