Pantry Door Makeover Part Two: The Reveal!

Recap of part one:

I purchased an antique door for our new pantry. Even though my brain was telling me not to purchase the door, my heart won out and I purchased it anyway. This decision led to a large amount of work, which included stripping, sanding, and repairing, resulting in a large amount of time invested.

Hence, that's why there is a Part Two.

With the door sanded and ready to go, I felt like it needed something to elevate its appearance. I chose to add molding around the glass at the top and the panels at the bottom, giving it the finished look I wanted.

After applying two coats of Kilz paint as a primer, I then painted the door in a blue shade that complements the colors in my home. Although I hope that my pantry will remain organized (a girl can dream, right?), I wanted to block the view in some way. To achieve this, I found gold wire mesh sheeting at a local big box store that coordinated with the accents in our kitchen. By cutting out four rectangular shapes with wire cutters and affixing them using the remaining molding from the glass front, I achieved the perfect amount of coverage while still allowing light into the pantry.

The finished pantry door. I am in love with everything

about it. The color, gold mesh, doorknob, and especially

its uniqueness.
