I've been filling in holes and gouges. That is the first stage of rehabilitation at the door hospital.
I'm fixing a stack of doors.
Literally, a stack.

| After filler application. |
I vow, I will never, ever, take a smooth, nicely-painted door for granted again.
The good news about repairing doors, is that I get to make Pinteresty improvements.

| Measure twice. |
Measure a rectangle, score the lines, mark with painter tape, and apply two coats of blackboard paint.

| Ugh, I hate paint bleeds! |
Stay tuned for more door rehab!
happy thrifting ;)
Good heavy doors are worth fixing, but gosh I hate painting them. I haven't had to do that in years and I don't envy you the job. The blackboard paint is great stuff-I can't ewait to see how they turn out.
ReplyDeleteI have a "Vintage Hospital" where I do surgery on vintage clothes and re-construct them.
Oooh!! I'd love to see your Vintage Hospital!!! I have a feeling it's much more exciting than my cans of primer, wood putty and sandpaper.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your blogs. I usually pop over and visit while I'm covered, head to toe, in dust and debris....your outfits add some much needed glamour and pretty to my life. :)
Wow, you've certainly got your work cut out with those doors, but it will be worth it in the end! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Princess!! I am saving $$$ by restoring the doors...hopefully I'll have more progress to show you soon!!
ReplyDeleteI admire your patience to save all those doors, it will pay off in the end. With those green tarps it looks like a door hospital!
ReplyDeleteThanks Penny! I think saving the doors is worthwhile too, the newer doors don't seem to be as heavy or sturdy. Further to the green tarps, I have the doors covered with plastic wrap to prevent dust from coming into the "hospital". Thanks for popping by!
