Faux Barnwood Pantry Doors:

After I installed the Decorative Hardware to my Garage Door, I was left with 1 remaining kit.

I've been wanting to paint my pantry doors for awhile now, but it wasn't until I bought the hardware, that I knew what exactly it was that I wanted to do.

BEFORE:


Just look how pitiful this is?


I applied 3 different types of paint to achieve this look...

I used an Interior Glidden paint called TILLED SOIL for the base coat.  Then I brushed on some black chalkboard paint.  I could have just used regular black paint, but chalkboard paint is what I had on hand.  For the final coat, I used
Martha Living specialty finish called HACIENDA.  For the final step, I distressed the edges a bit.

(Just a side note, the first 2 pictures below were taken with my phone...that's why the paint looks neon green.  ha ha)





I didn't worry about the edging, because I'm re-painting the walls anyways...

After the 3rd coat, I put on the Carriage Door Hardware.





My kitchen has a country, shabby chic, farmhouse look to it, so the faux Barn doors go perfectly! =)

  1. Hi Jenny, I saw this at the Winthrop Chronicles. Love the idea of adding the hardware to the door, it looks great! And the paint looks awesome too, I've never been good at making those faux finishes with paint but I love how yours looks. Thanks for sharing :)
