Making a Steel Door into a Barn Door ! CHALK STYLE !!!

What do you see??

Well I see a blank canvas, just waiting to be fabulous ! 

This is a steel door, just plain, no paint. Original from purchase. 

But looking at it "he" was calling my name....... 

Have you ever thought of painting a steel door in Chalky Patina? 

I did! 

And.....it happened!! 

It was very simple. Just like painting any piece of furniture. But...

How to choose a colour you think ?! 

Well for me it was easy. 

What colour would go on the Bluestone House which the house exterior is already our signature colour Bluestone. 

NOTHING better than Barn Door from our new spring Industrial Collection ! 

I know right !.... Barn Door on a steel door ! 

Amazing isn't it??  !!!

Once the door was given two coats of paint, he was ready to get distressed ! You do this the same way you would distress a piece of furniture. Sand away the chalk until smooth. And let the magic happen around the edges of the frame. Since I wanted to look like a old vintage weather door, I distressed a lot in certain areas. 

When you're doing this you have full control With the amount of distressing you want don't be afraid to give it your all. And if you find you did too much simply paint it again! 
You can't go wrong or do it wrong.
