Back Door Bliss

As promised in THIS other post when I did the trim of my FRONT DOOR--I am writing this post to show you the before and afters of my BACK DOOR spray painting trim project.

I just finished it and am SO HAPPY with the results!

I just wish I had done this YEARS earlier!

Here is the trim in its sun damaged YELLOWNESS before:

The hardest part of this project is the prep--taping and papering.
(And since that isn't hard at all--that tells you how EASY this project is!)

OK--are you ready?
This change is pretty dramatic and AWESOME!

BEFORE:
(And yes, that is my little one on my lap in the reflection--this is how a lot of my projects are done--with my little ones right at my side! They are such big helpers...right?)

AFTER:


BEFORE/AFTER


Now let me just say it again....I LOVE SPRAY PAINT!!!

  1. Sharon that looks incredible! My Mom has a new to me sewing machine for me and it's not very pretty. My first thought on seeing it was "it's okay, Sharon will spray paint it for me" :0)

  2. Wow!! That's freaking awesome! Mine are yellowed and awful, I once thought about removing them completely...but painting seems much easier. What kind of paint did you use??

  8. I cannot believe I never thought of doing this, I live in a very old home and surely there's areas that could use this technique, I am going on a hunt for what I can fix, lol! Thanks for sharing, looks MUCH better!!!
