Try It Tuesday~pickin' in Indiana!!

Hi guys!

We had such a great time in Indiana with our kids. We lucked into

a pickin' opportunity and, if you know me, I was all in. 

A view of the things I got but let me back up and start at the beginning~

This is the house that is set to be torn down.  The doors were open and all

 were welcomed.  We had permission, from the owners, that we could

take what we wanted.  The house had pretty well been picked over

 but what is one persons trash is another persons treasure.  So true!!!

The old chairs, with a wicker bottom in them, caught my eye first.

They are pretty rough but will look great, just like they are, with a succulent

on them. That's the plan~

The door was taken from under a stairwell.  It is much smaller

 than a normal sized door.  It was love at first sight!!

We got three sets of black porcelain doorknobs and some hardware.
I will do something really neat with these.  They have paint on them
but other than that no chips.

 The first thing I did (like last week) cleaned the door and

 painted it  with chalk paint by DecoArt.  After each coat

the door was sanded down.

The old coat hook was also picked from the old house. It fir perfect

on the old door.  I painted one of the pallet signs, by

Clear Scraps, to make a sign for the door.

A stencil from the Farmhouse Collection was used to create the

"Amazing Grace" sign.

This is how I used these picks from Indiana~

The old chairs with the wicker bottom, perfect to set a plant on.

Products used:

Paint: DecoArt

Stencil: Clear Scraps

Pallet board: Clear Scraps

and

elbow grease, lots of it!!!

10 things~ doors!

It's time for Shimelle's, 10 things on the tenth of the month, so here we go~ thought I would show you how I use old doors in my home.  I will stop on a dime for an old door with vintage hardware on it!!! I'll explain as I go~

Old door painted to display Mercer Pottery on. Hubby built the awesome mantle out of mesquite wood, found on our place~

This is another old door that was spilt to make a place to hang stuff in the pantry~

Hubby made this piece out of old door pieces, for the grands to have a place to hang their ranch caps.  The knobs are old door knobs!  That could be my next 10 things~showing the door knobs:):)

This is one of the very first doors I re-purposed and it is still a favorite of mine.  This is a small door~I'm thinking for a water heater.

Another fave of mine~this door is by Firestone Food Freezer (brass emblem on the front) ~ I painted it and use it for all things, grand kids!  Side note, I paid $15 for this door , all other doors were given to me or we found them.

Two doors hinged together ( check out the hinges)  Used to display more Mercer Pottery.

This door I just love~tall and skinny, painted added vintage(re production) hooks and we hang our wet towels on it..

One door turned into swinging doors ( bathroom). Check out the knobs~

This is the headboard on our bed.  Three doors hinged together ( check out those hinges). Mounted to the frame of the bed and then we added reading lights ( has a toggle switch in the key hole of the door knob) very cool~hubby and my design!!

Old French doors headed to the junk yard.  They are mounted on the wall (behind our TV in or bedroom). We added vintage hardware to them.  I know this is 10 things, but one more:):);)

Not sure what this is, but it spoke to me. I paid $20 for it. I love to display seasonal items on it.  Fun idea~ just wanted to share!!

Thanks for stopping in~this blog hop is always a fun one.

                    To see more collections of 10 things~ go to Shimelle's blog and happy hopping!!

Doors

This is a old Firestone Freezer door. It is sage green and I use it to display my favorite pic's of my favorite people. The Firestone emblem is on the front and is brass. Very cool!!

Two old doors that have seen a better day but lucky for them I love the primitive look so hubby hinged them together and what an awesome display for my old platters.

This one is an old water heater cabinet door. It is smaller than a regular door. I guess that's what drew me to it. Another display for more platters. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.
