A very 1980’s style door from marketplace can’t possibly work on a 1940’s worker cottage, can it? It’s amazing what paint can do. Changing the silver hardware to a matt black using spray paint, the softening the door with a pastel yellow to complement the black. This door found a new lease on life, all in one afternoon.
Hi @herordinarymum,
First, let me extend a warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community! It is wonderful you have decided to join and share your door makeover with us. You'll find Workshop to be a great source of inspiration and advice on all things DIY and garden. You have really picked up a trash to treasure item here and your project might even find its' way onto our Top Ideas page one day.
I am loving the colour combination and it really suits the cottage style. Did you need to sand or prime the door before painting? Do you have the name of the gorgeous yellow colour you used?
