Garage door makeover

While my mom and dad are here I'm going to post some stuff I don't think a lot of you have seen.  This one is for Suzanne:)





All Summer long I have wanted to redo my garage entry door. I saw it on Just a Girl  and I knew it was the one redo that I could fit in my schedule.



Before
After


Voila! New and improved. I have to admit it was kind of a pain. I skipped the priming step, which was really silly of me! So I had to do several touch ups and then polyurethaned it several times, so the paint wouldn't come off. I got the vinyl letters from Shelley Smith of Wonderfully Wordy. It's one of the easiest and best redo's I've seen online. I LOVE love the look of it and it makes me happy every time I drive in my garage. Which is what a redo is about right??






Have a blessed day!

  6. THANKS, Becky!!!
    I tend to cut corners
    when it comes to paint,
    too, so thank you for
    sharing your words of
    wisdom....I'll make
    sure to got the distance
    and do the priming, first.
    I sure hope that I can
    find paint made in the
    USA {ha ha}; my challenge
    has already been very
    challenging! I'll let
    you know how it goes...
    off to look at the
    decals, now ~
    Happy Sunday to you
    and your family {Mom
    and Dad, too}!

  8. Wonderful! At my house, that door gets so much traffic, and it always looks a dingy and gray. I love this idea - being able to smile at what welcomes me home instead of thinking, "I need to clean that."

  13. I love the look of your new garage door Becky. You always make every thing look so much prettier. Isn't the fridge that you painted the door using blackboard paint in the garage too? Ooh , that must look so awesome together.

  23. great redo I never would've considered. Garage door seems so hidden. I love the thought of doing little things that are just for me and my family...no one else may see them, but they'll make me happy so they're worth it! Enjoy your parents! :)
