ANTIQUE FARMHOUSE BIFOLD DOORS - inspiration

The goal for these doors was to make them a statement piece for the entry way. They are builder grade hollow core bi-fold doors for a front closet. 

Here is a look at what is directly across from the doors

and the inspiration for the color choice used on the doors.

 

I used a store paint sample card to work with while mixing a

 custom blue using Annie Sloan Chalk Paints. I was going

to be dark waxing the entire painted surface so I had to

take that into account while making my jar of paint.

Here are some close-ups of the textures created, giving these

 doors the wonderful old world antique feeling I wanted.

I put together some unique pulls for these doors using

 vintage pieces from Firstfinds Hardware Store.

Below is a peak at another door I did with a different look.

The techniques I used to create the layers and texture on 

these doors will start in tomorrow's post.
