RE:purpose

My husband has learned that having a fit about all the salvaged "junk" I take home (or have delivered) to our garage is not going to help. He quit arguing about my salvaging when my friend delivered an old garage door to our garage and he was not happy about it, but the next day had to meet me with these words:
"So, do you have a use already for that or could I have some of it?"
I love it!

There has been a little sore spot in our relationship though...these doors that I love that were in our shed when we moved into this old house of ours. Actually, one of them was our entry door--can you believe it? A house so old that the entry door was wooden! So, we had to replace that door, but I love the old one and don't want to get rid of it! I think I already have the perfect place for it, but I'm not sure the hubs will go for it.
So in the meantime, I've been trying to convince him to store these old doors inside the garage and he refuses to part with garage space that is apparently worth its weight in gold to store dirty old doors.

Anyway, this is what I came up with for one of the old doors. I recently saw this idea on Pinterest, but I HONESTLY had already made this shelf before I saw it. Great minds think alike I guess! Here it is...



It is perfect for my laundry room, even though I haven't gotten close enough to finishing my laundry room re-do yet to add the finishing touches. It adds just enough "rustic" to a laundry room and my husband is thrilled to have that door out of the backyard! (Obviously, I didn't win the storage battle!)
Happy Wednesday everyone!
