Cabinet Door Wall Decor

I picked up two, white

cabinet doors with faux

beadboard centers on

a trip to my EVER

favorite ReStore.

I had several ideas for them. But,

they sat untouched for days, ok,

weeks.

They were already white but I still

gave them a couple coats of Krylon's

Dover White. My trim color isn't

pure white so I needed them a

slight off-white. Krylon's Dove White and

Rustoleum's Heirloom White work great

for my situation.

I used burnt umber craft paint and streaked the

indented parts of the faux beadboad center. I wanted

a shabby/worn look. It kind of turned out

like I had hoped. *sigh*

I purchased:

2 Cabinet Doors at ReStore

 2 glass vases and pine cones at the Dollar Store

2 metal clamps at Ace Hardware

1 bag of brown beans &

1 bag of split peas at Walmart

This is WHAT I DID:

I placed the vase in the clamp and tightened it.

I set it on the cabinet door and measured out

where the vase was going to be placed.

Then marked where the clamp placement should be.

Then I took the vase out and marked the area

 for my pilot hole with a pencil.

Umm...getting a hole in the metal clamps wasn't easy.

I unscrewed the clamp all the way so I could

make it lay almost flat.

I placed it on a scrap piece of wood.

I had to hit the marked area with

a screw...yes...a screw with the hammer to

get a pilot hole started. Then I used a tiny drill bit and

worked my way up. Then finally I used the drill and pushed

the right sized screw through.

Seriously, there has to be an easier way but~

I was using what I already had!

I put a sawtooth hanger in the center of the back

for easy hanging.

I used a screwdriver to put the clamp on the

cabinet door. I then tightened the clamp.

I used the drill for this. It was faster! =)

I filled the vase first with brown beans then split peas.

I set a pine cone on the top.

And there you have it:

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!
