A year of so ago I closed my booth at the local flea market...couldn't manage two places.
I sold everything in my booth for $30 because I may have had 5 itmes including an old door:) that held my Christmas wreath.
Well, I've been seeing these great doors on everyone's blog and I thought, I have got to see if they still have my door.
There she was! Same exact place...right there...standing in my old booth:)
LET'S MAKE A DEAL!
"What will you sell me my door for?"
"Your door?"
"Yeah, the one I sold you that you sold me."
"What did you pay for it?"
"$20"
"How 'bout $10?"
"DEAL!" (and I'm screaming about jumping up and down right now!)
I cleaned with Greased Lightning and then sanded and cleaned some more and sanded some more. I tried my best to get the knob off. It's a weird size so I wonder if it came out of an old house? But the knob looked too new. Tried to get it out. My husband will try later.
A closer look to see the distressing and my children:) I may paint the middle pane with chalkboard paint and make write, "I Believe," for some of those things I pray for everyday!
I like it heavily distressed.
I did this table a few months ago. It didn't sell at the shop so I brought it home and I love it. Vignette not complete, but almost....

I'm so happy you got your door back! It's such a great size. And I love the idea of using the chalkboard paint to write some "prayer reminders". Good for you for negotiating to get it back.
