So onto my challenge! We have a huge decorating project happening at home which basically means we are decorating 3 bedrooms, one craft room, one bathroom (ripping out everything completely and starting again) and then finally the hall, landing and stairs!
We are on bedroom two which has a built in wardrobe with floor to ceiling wooden doors. I was given the task of revamping them and decided to use Americana Decor Chalky paint. I have to say this was the easiest paint project I have ever had. The fact I didn't need to prep the wood was a huge advantage, I did however wash the doors with a sugar soap solution as they were a little dusty!
This was the starting point.
After one coat.

Finished result!
I am so pleased with the end result as they have made a huge difference to the feel of the room. I am now eyeing up other pieces of furniture around the house so watch this space!
What a difference x really lightens the space.the old yellow pune is so oppressive. X
ReplyDeleteThat is great, I am just in the process of painting our son's room and was looking at the sad, now yellowing pine doors and wondering what to do with them!
