Anyone who gets rid of their old doors must be crazy! Sure, they might let in drafts and they might not look as good as they used to, but old doors can be used to make a ton of cool things.
In fact, they can be turned into everything from sofas to hall trees to coffee tables — if you play your cards right, you might never need to buy new furniture again!
