This easy DIY project will turn your bedroom into a rustic retreat. An old door is transformed into a beautiful headboard and it only takes a few coats of Chalked Paint and some decorative trim.
Step 1: Remove old hardware from the door.
Step 2: Using a paint scraper, remove all loose paint from the door. Sand the door lightly.
Step 3: If needed, fill existing small holes with wood putty and a putty knife.
Step 4: Cut 1x4 and decorative trim to the length of the long side of the door, then attach them to the long side of the door with nails.
Step 5: Once wood putty is dry, brush on one light coat of Chalked Paint in Linen White. Let the paint dry for approximately 2-4 hours.
Step 6: Dry brush the Chalked Paint in Charcoal next. Dab the tip of the brush in the paint. Wipe any excess off with a paper towel or rag. Apply by using quick, light brush strokes. Let dry for approximately 2-4 hours.
Step 7: To distress, use a paint scraper to scrape down the original surface in some spots.
