Up-cycled door development sheet- December 2013
For this project, I took my old wooden door and tried to put a shabby chic twist to it. To achieve this look the door had to go through a couple simple stages of renovating before it was a presentable piece. Firstly it had to be sanded down to remove the original wax coat before I could begin white washing it. The panels are made up of a variety of contrasting and complimentary materials, giving the piece an artistic feel, while also giving an additional colour splash to the room. In the top left corner is my original watercolour design and intention for the piece, following on from that is a brief spider diagram of the design direction I intended for the door. In the left bottom corner is the final materials I sourced for the piece and finally is a photograph of the door in its finished state.
