The bedroom door

All of our woodwork is covered in paint. Plenty of it. Amongst the peelings on our bedroom door were tan, peach, lilac, and turquoise, all coated in the obligatory white. So we decided to dip it. Then we sanded it. Then we carved out the many many tiny divots of white paint/chemical with some old wood carving tools I had from my printmaking days in college art class. Then sanded a little more.












The door beneath is lovely.  Rough around the edges, but solid.  The panels are one entire piece of wood, carved into a raised panel, rather than panels laminated together.  A little wood conditioner, stain, and polyurethane, and she sang.  Only 8 more painted doors to go now.
