Do you horde old things? Today we talk old door business. How many of you are obsessed with doors in general?? I’m sorry friends - you can’t have this antique door. I didn’t go fishing in the trash for it. This goodie belongs to a happy client!
This door was like no other wooden door that I’ve ever seen. It had some interesting, natural texture and crackle in its original inlaid shape. I couldn't wait to get started on this client’s project!
She knew exactly what she wanted! Grey tones using a paint wash technique. A wash is basically a technique resulting in a semi-transparent layer of colour. This technique is done by mixing a little paint and a little bit of water to dull the finish.
I decided to go with Decorative Annie Sloan French Linen. It's a cool natural color inspired by the colour of aged.
Gorgeous!! Right? My client is a genius! And the best part, the door had a home to go back to. She repurposed the antique door into a headboard for her cute, quaint guest bedroom in her cottage.
I mean I could lie there for days and get served breakfast in bed! This room is super inviting with all her little personal touches. She could decorate her space up cute as a button! Who’s in need of a women’s retreat? I should totally bug her up for a rental spot destination…Who’s in ladies?!
