Jess had her eye on this shelf made from a reclaimed door on Pinterest<\/a>. (By the way, make sure to follow us<\/a> if you want to see everything<\/em> we like on Pinterest!) It\u2019s a pretty cool way to reuse an old door. Problem is, we don\u2019t have any old doors laying around or a place that sells reclaimed doors in our area. So I doodled around in Sketchup a little bit and came up with this. She loved it \u2013 the same way she loved me the first time we met! (That\u2019s a lie, she couldn\u2019t stand me when we first met. More on that later.) It\u2019s simple, cheap, and made from lumber you can find at any home improvement store. <\/p>\n

Total lumber cost was less than $40. Plan on spending an additional $20 or so if you go for the optional hardware (backplate, hinges) to complete the old door look. I\u2019m working on building this project as I write this, so look for the completed build post in the next few days. (Update: It’s done! You can see the completed project and full build here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

This is a great weekend project – I think I only had about 8 hours into it total. Be sure to click below for the plan that will show you every step necessary to build this shelf yourself.<\/p>\n

\"leaning-door-shelf\" <\/picture><\/a>As with all of our plans, you don’t need a ton of sophisticated woodworking tools to complete this project. All of the required tools are what I would consider essential for any DIY’er.<\/p>\n
