What to do with a boring closet door....

 Well....Once again I failed to get much on the before pictures.  But none the less our front entry closet has been a topic of what to do for some time.  With all the work on the tile floor, we hated to cover half of it up.  so changing the panel of the door out to glass sounded like a good idea, A nice antiqued frosted glass with a logo in the middel calling out the room as a closet.
Well after a little research and a realization that new glass was uber expensive that little project stalled.  So I found free glass.  Tempered sliding doors from a back window wall.  Great....except I can't cut tempered glass.
So back to square one......

Eventually we realized chalkboard paint would work great there.  This is when Amanda told me about chalkboard markers.  They are like paint pens except they are chalk.  So off to sanding I went.



 A little elbow grease, some tape, and some paint she was on her way to being a door again.

 After hanging the door, I contracted some artistic expertise from the neighboring residents.

Not to bad for a couple kids from the south.

Notice the door hardware, that was the stuff that was gunked with all the paint.
And the greatest part is we can change it whenever we feel like changing the decor a little.  The markers come in a 4 pack, so we bought 2 packs so we have a variety of colors to play with over time.
till next time -cheers
