Summer Project # 1

I have a summer project bucket list...mainly things around the house. Some I've written down (in a couple of different places) and some I keep in my head. One that I wrote down....re-paint the door knobs...scared Chris. In fact, he said don't do it.
We installed dark brown door knobs on our exterior doors when we bought our house four years ago. The brass on all the interior doors needed to go. Instead of paying to replace them all (not at the top of our pricey to-do's around the house). I picked up some awesome spray paint intended for such a purpose at Lowe's and off I went on the first project.

 

Here's what the door knobs looked like before...very standard.  Very shiny, very brassy-goldy.

 Here's the process. I used an old gift box to set the knob, screws, and plates on (or poked through) to spray all the sides. I did have to go back over them after they dried so I could identify the spots I missed on the first time through. I used the metallic spray paint from Rust-Oleum.

Here's how they look all finished!! A preview of the bathroom knob and plate! I love them! They go so much better with the style of our home and feel like something new. As you can see below we like the dark stuff...see the handles we added to re-painted bathroom cabinet.

 Again, I'm so excited...here's the one of the guest room located next to that bathroom.

Summer project #1 Complete! I LOVE teaching when it comes to summertime. This week I'm enjoying the Amazing Wonders Aviation doing preschool recreation at VBS! I can tell that God called me to teach high school students for sure...these little ones have sooo much energy!
