Still trying to improve!


Before


After

So weird,sometimes you can be so happy with
the results of something you have been doing,
and you think "it really can not be better",but
a few weeks later you think"is this all I could
come up with?" That is exactly what is happening
to the pantry.Now I can see what improvements
can and should be done! First I changed the bakers
rack and now I make look the fence door a little bit
more used.

The next thing I'm going to do is tiling the walls....

    Hi Christel, Even when the fence is alrady made of black plastic I painted it again black with acrylic paint the first time,now I also painted it with brown acrylic paint and brushed some orange pastel chalk over the paint,this makes it look older and more real!

    Hello - it has certainly improved, and I
    agree - sometimes you need a little time
    to see what needs to be changed. To me it´s
    a great help to post a picture - then I can
    see things from a distance if you understand
    what I mean..

    It looks great! Very well "aged."

    Did you seal the chalk?

    Lol! So true! I guess it's the perfectionist in us that makes us want to keep improving upon our work. The aging job you did on this fence is really wonderful; thanks so much for sharing how you did it1
