My poor husband is so so patient with my obsessive collecting of the old and unusual.
" What are you going to do with this and where are you going to put it ?" he asks . I know what he is thinking but I don't always know what I will do with a piece until I get it home and look at it closely.
However, I had a pretty good idea what this was going to be from the moment I set eyes on it.
I set my husband to work to remove all the doors furniture so that I could concentrate on the transformation.
I was pretty sure that I wanted the green undercoat to show through the distressed areas .
Painted my areas of distressing with green and then gave it a top coat of blue, distressed and then glazed with a sepia glaze.
Door furniture was stripped to reveal its brass and returned to the door in various different positions.
It now has pride of place in my master bathroom!
