DIY DISTRESSED KITCHEN DOORS

I have a white bi-fold  door in my kitchen that is screaming for a change! I wanted to do something different but  I wasn’t sure exactly what? I had some black chalkboard paint on hand so that will do. When I begin a project I never really plan it out, and sometimes it works out.

 I just begin with a foam sponge and start in the corners then back through each slat. After this was done, I started to sand in spots to give it a distressed look. Now it looks okay but not really the worn look I was hoping for. I had some light grey acrylic craft paint. I started to go over each slat again. This gave it a softer color. I went back and sanded in random spots.

 Sometimes just painting a door can be the key to creating something dramatic.

I hope this inspires you to try something new.

 Painting is my favorite way to transform a space.

Now on to another project!
