How to turn a door into a set of shelves

Here’s an awesome idea if you want more shelving in your small space… or if you want to ‘hide’ a private room… or if you just want to have an awesome door you can talk about with guests. Turn a door into a set of shelves! (Or should that read: Turn some shelves into a door!  :) )

Bookshelf Door

This is also a great DIY project for bringing life to a part of your house rarely visited. For instance, if your storage room is located at the end of the hallway, you can give that door an additional purpose by using it as decorative shelving as well. Install wireless LED bookcase lighting and you’ve just made that dull area into a brighter, happier place!
