Love a classic serving tray, whether for delivering drinks or the occasional breakfast in bed? Home design blog Apartment Therapy details how to make your own attractive serving tray by salvaging an old cupboard door.


The inspiration for the project:

While visiting a friend who was in the process of gutting her kitchen, we noticed a pile of cabinet doors stacked in the corner. Before leaving, we grabbed a couple for a potential DIY project. After researching some ideas, we thought a serving tray would be the perfect transformation for the old door.


Really all you need to tackle this project yourself is the hardware (the repurposed cupboard door and some drawer handles), sandpaper, paint, and a little bit of time on your hands. Beyond that, you're imagination's the limit in terms of how you want it to look.
