Remember this door?
~very ho hum & boring~
It takes up such a large portion of our small dining
room, that I've been trying to come up with ways to
make it an asset, instead of such an eyesore.
Here are a couple of my ideas:
The first idea was using one side of the sweet
french doors I've had tucked away for quite awhile
for the perfect place, but it was too big and just
wouldn't work.
The second idea came after I found
the most beautiful vintage screen door at the swap
meet, but again, WAY to big...
Finally, #3 and the solution!
(Isn't the third try usually a charm)?
and
this
is
what
I
came
up
with!
~Yes, it's our pantry~
~plain jane flat hollow door~
~Until~
~ I pulled out my paintbrushes~
...and the chalkboard paint!
~Now it's becoming a 3 panel door~
~a little damp, but you get the idea~
~ Our new and improved door~
Loving our new chalkboard door,
it's wonderful for grocery lists
as well as a fabulous
menu board!
...and
The grandkiddos thought it was
so much fun!
It's something you might want
to think about if you have
a troublesome area
and a little chalkboard
paint nearby!

Great idea! It looks wonderful!
LOVE it! What a great idea. It really does look like a paneled door now, doesn't it? I'd say you did good!!!! Diana
Fab idea, practical and so much fun too!

That looks great!! What I love about it are your choice of letters for 'pantry', they really dress it up and give it character along with the chalk board paint.
GREAT IDEA!!! Lisa ;-)
Good thing you went with "third time's a charm" rather than "three strikes and you're out!" LOL Seriously, it's a great solution; no longer and eyesore -- AND it's functional!
Perfect Solution ~ Now That Is Clever!
Cool Beans....love it! Just wish I had a pantry door now!
Blessings,

I don't like those plane front doors either. You have turned a liability into an asset. Great job!!
Love,

I love this!! I have our basement door in the kitchen and did the same thing but used green chalk board paint left over from the kids play room! I love it!! & people leave us little notes when they come to visit!!! very cute!!
Great idea! This looks wonderful!
Actually I wanna try to do the same thing regarding on Pantry Doors for the new out come of one of my door in the kitchen. Hope I can do it well. Thanks for this idea.
