Not Too Shabby Jewelry Display!

There are some very creative things you can do with an old cabinet door and some old door knobs. This is one of my favorite "DIY" Do It Yourself projects this month and one very hot item when it comes to ladies who want a charming vintage piece to hang thier favorite jewelry on!

All you need is an old cabinet door or board, good glue and a little paint. I use a white paint color called Snowbound by Sherwin Williams as the base color and then I add a light glaze to the whole piece to give it that old stained look. I like to use Tea Stained Glaze by Ralph Lauren for the glaze. I typically go hunting at old home supply stores, trade days, silent auctions and estate sales for the old door knob pieces so it creates an original old home look.

So once you've got your cabinet piece or board painted how you like, just grab some good glue so you can attach your door knobs and door key plates.

Just to the right is the finished product! My jewelry loves its new home!
