Message Center Made from an Old Door

Today’s DIY project, a Message Center made from an old door, is one of my first DIY projects here on the blog. It was originally posted in August of 2013 in my second year of blogging. I had picked up an old door from a local shop and used it to make a family message center to help keep our busy family of five organized.

At that time, I still had all three boys living at home! It was a busy time with lots school projects, sports and other activities, and more! It was a lot to stay on top of and I needed something to help keep it all together!!! But, I also wanted something that would fit into my decor, which was much more of a cottage style then! I wanted to share this post with you because it’s still one of my all time favorite projects from the blog! I used it so much over the years and it really isn’t a hard DIY to pull together!  Be sure to click the BOLD link below with my photo to see this project!
