Armoire Doors

Happy Thursday.


I decided to stain the two armoire doors over the chalk paint to give a little warmth to the large armoire.



My goal is to eventually find two similar vintage doors to replace the stock doors my hubby used to make this armoire.



I just think if I could find two great old doors with lots of character and beautiful features it will give this armoire character and personality.  



So I am on the hunt for some old historic doors.  In the meantime this is how the piece looks for now.



I like the darker stain on the doors.  The other vintage door in the corner is going to be moved out.  I just was not happy with anything I tried with it.    So I will find something else for that corner.  


 I will hunt for two vintage doors to replace these stained stock doors.  In the meantime I like the stained over the chalk paint.  It just gives some warmth to this armoire.

Thanks for all the prayers for Terry.  He is doing so much better.  I appreciated every single prayer and good wish for Terry's recovery.  He is back to work today and doing great.

Please come back on Saturday for Spotlight. Susan and I have two really great bloggers for you to get to know.

  1. Just love these doors, Kris, and can't believe their stock doors! You do have a way with paint and stain. The armoire is amazing and will look fabulous someday with vintage doors, too. Hope you find just the right ones waiting for you.
    I'm praying for your wonderful guy Terry. Hopefully he's feeling much better now. xoxoxo

  17. Kris,
    CRAP my comment just disappeared!!! I am glad Terry is doing well and I will continue keeping you, he and family in my prayers. I think the stain is pretty on the armoire and have no doubt you will find perfect doors for what you envision. But until then how about putting a Skelton key in the right key hole and hanging a shabby chic Kris inspired tassel on the key? Just a little more textural interest to an already pretty piece.
    XO,
