How and How Long:
- Clean your door to rid it of any dirt, if needed softly sand down the door prior to painting.
- Tape off any hardware that you would like to keep on your door.
- Spray paint your door, using short back and forth strokes. Allow to dry completely before adding second coat of paint.
(Optional: Tape off sections of door to allow a few of the panels to become chalkboards. Spray panels you desire with chalkboard paint; use 2-3 coats).
- Spray paint your shelves or table legs. Again allowing enough dry time between coats. About 2 coats of paint on all pieces should be plenty.
(Optional: Find some old chairs and paint them too for a whole new look in your home office)!
- Once table and legs are completely dry and aired out, bring to the location you want to set up your new door/desk, place your table legs where you would like them, and simply set the door on top!
- Completing this simple and fun project will leave you feeling empowered and ready to start working at your beautiful upcycled desk! See more on the blog http://thepinkhammerblog.com/2012/11/01/doordesk/
Approximate project time: 5 hours.
