The Front Door Transformation

We replaced our front door a few years back . . . . just a basic, want-to-be wood door from Home Depot.  It does the job . . . . but I'm not in love.

Please don't look at the boring white door trim.  Ack.

Now that I'm in the middle of transforming our living room from top to bottom (fully revealed at a later date), the brown door just didn't do it for me.  I had some new Annie Sloan chalk paint and I wanted to see how it could transform this door of mine.

Gotta say, I kind of like it now.

After washing down the door, I painted it with a mixture of Annie Sloan paints, but the main color is Provence.  After it was dry, I covered it in clear wax.  Then I did a little distressing around the trim pieces before coating in the dark wax.  I made sure to leave some wax in the corners and trim to add some antiquey-like feel to this big container store door.

 Hmmmmm . . . now, what to paint the front of it?
