Sliding Closet Door Upcycled with Paint

     The master bedroom needed an update, especially after replacing the old bookcase headboard with a new tufted leather one. Many years ago, the walls had been rag rolled with a forest green glaze; it had a lovely aged patina but now I wanted something a little more modern and neutral. Our comforter had tones of green and gray, so I chose a color called Dolphin Gray, which would coordinate nicely. When the ceiling and walls were finished, I was uncertain what to do with the closet doors - Pop wanted them white and I preferred the same gray as the walls. I compromised, a little, and am pleased  with the look. 

   




 


     White enamel paint was swiped a few inches from the perimeter of each door and then painters tape was placed in a large rectangel.  Dolphin Gray was applied over all and then the tape was removed.











     The final product was quite appealing and lent a little architectural character to the plain flat doors. New knobs with a satin nickel finish complete the look.
