BHG's Do It Yourself Spring 2011

I love browsing through magazines for cheap home improvement ideas.  This issue had a section dedicated to spray-paint.

My front door was in dire need of a new paint job.   I would prefer a new door as I really don’t like the ugly gold lines and frosted glass that date my door.  I want one more modern with  glass I can actually see out of or a peephole.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the meantime, I decided to try the spray-paint project for the front door.  This is what my door looked like before painting.  I used plastic wrap to protect my walls, trim, glass center, and door knob.  The paint is weathered.  You can see obvious spots where I have attempted to touch up the paint in the past.

 

And here’s the (almost) finished result.  I need to touch up the trim, other side of door, and get a new doorknob/deadbolt set.

 

It shines.

I declare this a pass.
