Painted Doors



I found myself getting a little too bored lately so I decided to paint these old doors in our house. It was actually pretty fun and makes me happy to look at them now:) I love the simple things in life!
 
This is our bathroom door. I looked at a few different stencils for this door but then just came up with my own. I used a cool whip container lid and traced around it with pencil to create the circles, overlapping each other.  Then I painted blue inside the "football shapes."
 
This is our bedroom door. I drew 3 inch columns on it and painted them tan. It's simple but I love stripes!
This is Max's bedroom door. For this one I just started taping random lines with scotch tape and left the center extra wide. I painted blue inside all the rectangles then I used my handy cool whip lid and made the polka dots in the middle. Then I removed the tape to have nice crisp lines.  



This is a small hallway so I couldn't quite get a picture to show all three doors. It's hard to get the full effect but they all match each other and it's fun to add some color to our boring hallway!
