Makeover Monday: This Old Door
Once in awhile you just get lucky.
Not long ago I dropped by a yard sale, and what to my wondering eyes did appear but a beautiful old, chippy, flaky, rusty door.
Seriously, this was something I'd been hoping to find for awhile.
Originally I had wanted one like this to use as a headboard, from a great tutorial I saw on Pinterest. But when the door of my dreams didn't appear, I finally moved on and made different kind of headboard.
So instead of hanging behind my bed, this door would find a home and a new life in my shop. Standing there at the side of the road, I could picture it: Painted, distressed, waxed. Panels would be chalkboard to draw my logo and to write messages to customers. As an added bonus, this old beauty even had a mail slot. I would use that for a business card drawing!!!
OH HAPPY DAY!
I know. I need a life. Sigh....
Here's how she's shaping up so far. Just playing around with the chalk, so this isn't a finished product yet.
The basket hung from the mail slot will hold my business cards, and a notepad of paper so shoppers can write their info and drop it in the slot for a monthly drawing.
What do you think?
Thanks for reading! I have linked this post up with a few bloghops. If you'd like to join the parties, I've listed all the links in my sidebar. Hope to see you there!

Hey, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, don't judge!
