If you are thinking about how you can make a
picture frame for your family album, there is one idea you have not thought
about yet. If you have a door that needs to be removed and are wondering how to
make use of it, you might have found what you are looking for. Converting your old door into a beautiful
photo door is something that will only take a few hours. The results, however,
with change your home’s décor and make your photos look elegant and unique.
Depending on which part of the home this picture frame is placed, you can add a row of doorknobs to the photo frame. This
will instantly become a great place for people to hang their coats as they
admire your photos.
Where to use the photo door
1. You can use the photo door in the children’s
art room. Instead of tapping photographs on the door, put great art the
children have done.
2. If the door is in the kitchen, you can put
treasured handwritten family recipes in place of the photos
3. It can also be
set in a teen’s room where the pictures can often be changed.
What you will need
- Old door
- Paint and paint brush
- Class cleaner
- Sponge
- Several door knobs
- Screws
- Photographs
- Tape
- Screwdriver
- Sandpaper
The door
Identify the door that needs to be converted into a photo frame. Remove this
door from its hinges. Remove any hardware that may still be on the door. Clean
the door thoroughly. At this point, you can choose to repaint the door. Always
remember to consider the color of the décor in your home and the color of your
wall.
Glass door
If the door is glass, cover the parts with
glass using an old newspaper. If you are thinking about sanding the parts made of wood, the newspaper
will protect the glass. Apply the first coat of paint. Let it dry. Once it is
completely dry, apply the second coat of paint. While the door is hanged on the wall, it is important that you
paint all its sides for neatness and uniformity. Once the second coat of paint
is dry, apply a clear or matte coat of polyurethane. This ill not only help to
protect the paint, but it will also chic-style for the door.
Remove the paper from the glass and clean it
thoroughly.
Photographs
You may have to size down some pictures
depending on how big or small the new frames are. Tape the photos on the inside
of the glass. Use low adhesive tape that
will allow you to change the photo’s
position without damaging the paper.
Doorknobs
Fit the door to the wall
You may use wall studs or a wall anchor. You
may have to screw the door at four corners.

Kendall Jenner, and more all rocking the $15,500 pieces.

Prom is a time in every teen’s life when boys and girls alike
dress themselves to the nines and spend the night eating, dancing, and enjoying
their final moments of high school together. The word prom originates from the “promenade,”
which in the past was the formal entrance of guests as they entered a party.
During the early 19th century, the co-ed banquets held by
American universities were the earliest form of prom in the United States. As
the U.S. became more and more populated with teens, the advent of prom was
yearned for by younger and younger generations. Later, parents and teachers thought
that hosting formal dinner dances for high school aged teens would instill
adequate social skills and etiquette, better preparing them for their
soon-to-be adult lives.
By the 1930’s, proms were being held nationwide. They
typically began with a banquet dinner, followed by dancing and performances by
local bands. Up until the 1950’s, proms were held in high school gyms.
America’s post-war economy was what pushed proms off of school grounds and out
into the world of banquet halls, country clubs, and hotel ballrooms. Prom
attendance peaked in the 1980s and continues to be a pinnacle event of
everyone’s high school career.
Whether you’re an adult who has to dust the cobwebs from your
mind to recall your prom or a teen starting to consider what you’ll wear or who
you’ll take to next year’s prom, get your minds churning with Hollywood’s take
on proms and formals. While typically nowhere near accurate representations of
real life, these are some of the most iconic dances featured in popular movies:
- · Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire. The Yule Ball, a coveted tradition
in wizard culture, was a time for witches and wizards to adorn their best dress
robes and enjoy the company of their peers from the wizarding schools across
the globe. This dance was held during the Tri-Wizard Tournament, which took
place during Harry’s fourth year of schooling at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry. We read in the books and see within the movie Harry, Ron and
Hermione dressed to impress at their one and only prom-styled event. Their
night is packed with all of the stereotypical drama you would expect to see at
a prom – after all, it wouldn’t be a formal dance if Hermione didn’t end the
night in tears, would it?
- · She’s All That. You’d be the most respected person
in your class if you got a celebrity to attend and guest DJ you prom like Usher
did in She’s All That. The graduating
class of the Southern California high school does a well orchestrated
synchronized dance, which could only happen in a late 90’s coming-of-age tale
like this one. Whether you’re the jock or the girl-next-door turned prom queen,
this iconic prom scene is definitely one to try and recreate.
- ·
Grease. While it’s not quite prom at Rydell
High, it’s definitely a reason to dance! The school’s dance is featured in an American
Bandstand-style dance competition and Sandy, Danny and the gang do their best
“Hand Jive” in an attempt to get noticed. This movie is an exemplary example
of when and how high school dances became so popular throughout American
culture.
- ·
Mean Girls. The epitome of a high school drama,
Mean Girls gives us a closer look at the “mean girl culture” that can
unfortunately be found in any and every high school. This iconic tale peaks at
the Spring Fling, where Cady finally opens up and takes on the Plastics once
and for all. If there were ever a right time to address the hate that purges
your school, prom is the ideal time to address each and every one of your
teachers and peers!
- ·
Twilight. Bella and Edwards gazebo dance was
the kind of moment a high school teen could only dream about. The couple step
into a stereotypical prom scene with bouncing teens and obnoxious music.
Friends and passerby bid greetings to Bella, who is later swept off her feet
and whisked away to a gazebo dotted with string lights and literally swept off
of her feet as Edward twirls her around to the soft sounds of Iron & Wine.
- ·
It’s A Wonderful Life. It’s A Wonderful Life, the timeless
Christmas tale that’s about to be playing on television sets across the nation,
might spark your brain to start thinking about the next prom season. Though
this movie is packed to the brim with the meaning of the Christmas season, many
people ignore the scene where a young Jimmy Stewart getting his groove on and
falling into the school swimming pool with his date!
- ·
Footloose. A movie about dance based in a town
that forbids dance. What could be better? The young hopefuls of the town fight
to express themselves through dance and, thanks to a brawny Kevin Bacon,
they’re all able to let loose (see what we did there?) at the end and celebrate
their victory at prom.
- · Carrie. Creepy, but still a movie that
primarily focuses on the traditional American prom. Definitely not a prom you
would want to attend, but if you’re someone who has dreaded proms in the past,
pop this movie in during the 2017 prom season and sympathize with our girl,
Carrie.
- · Back To The Future. Super-cool Michael J. Fox commands
the stage at the 1950-something prom of Whittier High School. While 2017
prom-goers probably won’t be fending off advances from their parents in the
parking lot, there’s always the chance of a musically-inclined classmate
hopping on stage and shredding on the guitar.
Whether you want to try and recreate one of these well known
prom moments or create new memories of your own, step it up next prom season.
