Repurposed Doorway Casing
My husband and I often pick up salvaged materials. To me, every piece is unique and beautiful to behold: even the broken ones. This has always made it very difficult for me to part with even the less than perfect items. However, I don't believe in keeping things just for the sake of keeping them. This project was born from my desire to find use for even the imperfect of items.
I used a salvaged piece of doorway casing. It was from a much larger piece, but it had suffered from rot on one end. Instead of throwing the whole thing away, I had my hubby cut off the damage. I must confess, he thought me mad for wanting it. After it was trimmed, I gave it a thorough sanding. Then, I just added a couple of hooks on the front and a sawtooth hanger on the back.
I think it looks lovely. An added bonus, the top ledge is wide enough for display!
