Magazine Cabinet

I promised in my last post to share the fate of a pair of doors 
( the only things to survive the His and Hers Bathroom reno) 

from the original linen closet.

  

I love louvered doors.  Just not in my bathroom because I'm a good southern girl who does my part to keep hairspray companies 
in the black.  Hairspray, shower steam and louvered 
doors? -- a recipe for disaster in my cookbook so I saved 
the doors for another day.  

You can get more info on the Loveseat and TV tray here.

Then, how to use them?  

I built this cabinet for my magazine storage.  It's built from 1x10's so it's shallow enough to fit in the corner behind my recliner, just right for my magazines and a perfect way to recycle the doors. 

I moved the chair to get a better picture.

 

I distressed the new wood to match the old doors.  I used leftover bathroom paint for the base color, dry brushed everything with leftover kitchen paint and sanded the edges a little. 

Here's a look at the "during".

I thought I'd also give you a peek at a little trunk in the room my uncle and I built together.  We built it to "fit" the space and for extra storage.  

I'm all about extra storage!
