If it were painted in a flat paint (several coats like barn red over forest green or something) then sanded to distress this cupboard would really appeal to the primitive collectors out there. I really like the look of this- reminds me of the one that was in the kitchen of our old farmhouse. :)

Thanks rivergirl. I will have to try that process. I used leftover paint that I had for this one. The first coat was flat latex. I think it froze at one time. Was all chunky when I tried to put it on. It didn’t stick well either, NEXT day I rubbed it off and used this glossy. (Maybe I will start lightly sanding this one too)

Yes- just take a sander to it and see how it looks. The primitive types like the paint scrubbed off on the edges and on the handles etc. etc. And they like the layered paint look because granny used to repaint the cupboard over and over and over…. :)

I love your repurposing/reusing projects! I’m old old door/window junky too. Love it!
