Old Windows and Doors

This is a photo of my Great Grandparents' house.  It is going to be demolished soon. We recently gathered all the old windows and doors.  We have all been busy painting, scuffing, and restoring.  

This was the old pantry door.  I have a huge wall in my master bedroom that I have never decorated to my satisfaction.  I decided to make a mantle out of my old door. 

I bought some decorative wood pieces and spray paint from Lowe's.  I was going to leave the original white paint on the door because I love the vintage look.  When my sister did some investigating she learned the house was painted with lead base paint.  So, needless to say I had to paint the entire door.  But after gluing, nailing, and sanding my dad sprayed the entire piece black for me. 

I was so pleased with the final project.  It adds the perfect touch to my master bedroom!

This is one of the windows we recovered from the house.  I washed it up, added a wreath, a bow and some vinyl snowflakes for the holiday season.  I just love it!
