The old door made it out of the truck and into the garage for a quick and fun makeover right on time for another White Wednesday.
Its white old paint was the perfect background for a bold and graphic statement...can you tell that we are really in love with big black lettering later?
We made our own stencil by simply using regular paper, the computer and the printer.

Some distressing later...(A coat of aqua paint peeked through... Bingo!!)
a couple of metal brackets, a piece of wood cut to size...

The perfect accent for a hallway or an entryway.
Taking almost no space at all, (only about 12" deep), our door provides enough room for a lamp,the keys, the purse. ...

I'm loving how this turned out. Very creative indeed. Sometimes all you need is a little motivation, isn't it? I, too am loving the big black lettering and numbers.
Enjoy your Wednesday.

I just picked up an old door at a rummage sale, and have been wanting to put some words on in. Thanks for showing yours - it turned out wonderfully.
Oh goodness. I have a very old door that I have been hoping to turn into a craft table. Not any more. I just found a new project for it. Thanks for your cottage charm and friendly inspiration. I enjoy reading your posts. Best Wishes.

You know what really impresses me about you two--besides your awesome projects--is your ability to focus and decide what to do with an item so quickly. Seriously. I have the ideas but always think that it might not be right...might be a better way...and then it sits. I love your drive and focus.
Love this! Just beautiful! This is def. inspiring!
