Thrifted “Bathroom” Door

November 6, 2013 By Meegan 4 Comments

I have been wanting to show you this thrifted beauty of a “bathroom” door for sometime now. I almost have our master bathroom done, so I figured this is a good time to show you THE “bathroom” door. You are gonna love her!!

You KNOW how I love to shop thrift stores, right?? Well, I kept telling my Hubby I wanted a door for the bathroom. He was so confused, because the master bathroom DOES have a door.

I finally found this beauty, back in June. She was sitting in the back of the thrift store just waiting for me to buy her.

I know, for $20 how could I pass her up, right??? She was just what I wanted for the bathroom. With a little clean up and some paint, she would fit perfectly in the bathroom.

Isn’t she amazing?? She fits right along with my beach striped hamper!!

That’s why I needed a “bathroom” door. Not to open and close, but just to sit and look pretty.

Using Antique Coral from Valspar, I painted the panels and frame of the door. The routed frame is painted with a flat white. (If you remember, I have also used the same Antique Coral to paint my thrifted table and chairs)

The door knob is actually a purchase from Hobby Lobby. Doesn’t she fit just perfectly in our master bathroom? She doesn’t need to be hung or even need hinges. She looks amazing just leaning against the wall, next to the hamper.

I knew you would like my thrifted “bathroom” door as much as I do. Do you have a random door in your house, too?? Tell me about it!!

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board

October 8, 2013 By Meegan 12 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’4254′] Do you ever have one of those shopping days that just go your way?? I seem to have that a lot lately. It is pretty fun, I must admit. I found a bulletin board at Home Goods for 50% off. Yahoo! I thought it would be fun to paint her up and make her my own. I am excited to share my new DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board with you today.

Using a plain bulletin board I painted, stenciled, and customized it just for us.

Yep, this is how I found her. Those red or orange tags catch my eye every time. How about you?? Do you see those scratches at the top?

That is why this lovely bulletin board was half off. And look at the awesome frame. It wide and detailed. Perfect for my taste.

I started using flat white paint, then went over it loosely with Antique Gray from Ace Hardware.

Looking through my stencils, I found one that would be just the right touch for our office style.

Taking my time to get the look I wanted, I stenciled using Antique Gray. Looking good so far, right?

Once the paint was dry around the frame, I sanded the edges, for an aged and vintage feel.

Not only did I sand the frame, but I also sanded my stencils and the whole cork board. It adds to the vintage and worn look. Just what I was hoping for.

I love this pattern and the look of my DIY Bulletin Board.
