I have taken this pet project to kill my time on weekends. However, it was not supposed to take four weekends.

Never thought I would pull this off in my first attempt. Although the pictures show my mistakes and errors, I am very happy with the outcome. I am sure I will pull it off with finesse whenever I try this next.

I was told by my family, very politely of course to start with the door we least use. That way, even if it turned out to be ugly, the other two doors can be done by professionals. I was totally on-board with the plan and proved that I can actually do it! The body pains that followed were a monster! Because I had to sit in all odd angles and lie flat on hard floor to be able to paint at eye level for eight hours! That’s how long one door took to paint.

Do let me know what you think of my attempt at painting doors in the comments below!
