Plaque, shelf, drawer front?

SO I finally got to go to the most talked about place on this crafty blog circuit (other than Hobby Lobby, no idea what that is), the Habitat for Humaniity RESTORE!! They just opened one near us and I've ventured down to it a few times now. On my first visit I saw these:



There were five of them all taped together with an IKEA sticker on the back. No price tag and no idea what they were. We thought for sure they were shelves that were missing their hardware. Regardless, I knew I could make something out of them so up to the counter we went. For the whole lot it was $1.00! Even better!


There were two holes going through each one so I filled them with putty, waited, sanded them down and began to paint. The first one I painted black satin, did not like. So then I tried this soft yellow, not even thinking about the hideous orange that showed through, that one will have to have something else done to it. So, I loved the plain yellow one but it's not done, I think I'll try some sanding/staining/sanding action and see what happens!




There was one piece of strange oval metal thing taped with it all, and I realized while holding it up to the holes on the "shelf" that it fit perfectly there, because it's a drawer pull and these are drawer fronts.
