This was a fun project. The door is outside and leads to an exterior laundry room. The entire patio area was painted to look like a garden room. (I’ll share more of this mural later)
The door was a plain white 3 panel door.
We purchased 3 square decorative frames and one metal decorative ironwork scroll. The frames came with the metal scrolls already inserted.
The door was painted with a green/black frame (we measured the metal frames first to see where to paint in the outside frame color.
I patted on some yellow and brown watered down paint over the green to make it look weathered.
The frame was painted to create a “ruffled” edge at the top to blend in with the metal scroll.
Sky blue was panted above the green to create the illusion of sky.
Oh… check out the door frame. It was distressed using the faux wood techniques I teach in my video. Distressed Faux Wood Techniques
Then I painted in a flower pot garden plus I added some hills in the distance.
The iron pieces were added to the door and Presto!
We had what looked like a garden gate on the door.
