Take an ordinary door

And transform it 

into something not so ordinary.

And, by the way, the faux stone walls are my secret recipe of dry wall compound and sand.  Each block hand painted with acrylic paints.  

But first, let me tell you.  Our doors,  for our new house,  are very old doors.  In fact they are more than 100 years old.

But they are not ordinary.  They were salvaged from the famous and very elegant Hotel Utah,  the Grande Dame of Hotels in the Intermountain West. 

Now not a Hotel anymore but the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
  
I remember dining and dancing many beautiful evenings at the rooftop of this venerable hotel.  

But no more.  

The doors were painted white on one side and left natural on the other side, just as you see here, in our bathroom. 

They were the doors which opened the many doors to individual rooms of the hotel.  Some of the doors still had room numbers attached.  

I left the natural wood as is but painted the doors on the white side.  

 I painted right on the top of the old white paint.


What do you think? 


Plain white, natural wood or faux marble?  



Thank you for stopping by.  Have a great week ahead.
