DIY Door Makeover

Yesterday was a gorgeous day with a high of 88 degrees, so I decided to take advantage of our last cool day and finish my front door project.  The outside of our door looked faded and weathered after years of exposure to the extreme dry heat here in the summers.   It's a beautiful old hardwood door and a little make over will do wonders.

Better get a before photo -  well almost I already started here 

I pulled out 6 small nails and filled the

 holes with wood filler. 

Then I dragged out my little Black & Decker Mouse and

started sanding.   

Now that my fingers are numb I'm ready to paint.

 (Barn red to Forbidden red)

After  -      3 coats of paint and I'm finished.  

The effort was really worth it, considering the door panels

look transparent and you can see the beautiful woodgrain.  

How's that for a makeover   -  Drab to Fab

It looks like a new door  and a little more welcoming.   

I love how it turned out.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day.
