Pantry Door

 Heather found this cool old door on Facebook Marketplace and though it would look great as our pantry door. We bought it before we moved in, so we had our builder put in a standard door and then this would be a project to work on...

I drove over to eastern Iowa and picked up the door. Stored it in the basement for a few months and then got started sanding!

The door was about 5 inches too wide and 3 inches too short to fit into our "standard" door frame. So I ended up cutting the sides down and used the cutoff to add to the top and bottom to make the door taller! Using the cutoffs worked great to match the wood of the door!

Most of the big stuff sanded...onto the detailed areas

I saved the handle and put it back on the door, here it is in the kitchen!

The fit is good and it looks great

Finished project
