Antiquing with spray paint

After my adventure yesterday with my table I was pumped and ready for my next antiquing journey, but I wanted to attempt it with a different medium. 

So I disassembled the shutters I picked up in yesterday's thrift store haul.

I sanded slightly still wanting to keep the underneath color as a part of the ending texture.

First I started with my Valspar spray paint, oh gee and if you thought normal paint took forever, this... This took much longer which was rubbish for me. So after doing a white coat with spray paint and a failed attempt of sanding before it dried, I let it set over night, this morning tackling the sanding and using the same stain as yesterday's table project, espresso beans.

^last nights failed sanding attempt^

 I sat myself down and watched stolen earth/journeys end (doctor who people), and began sanding, staining and sobbing..

So after getting fully distracted by the doctor and drilling a hole where I shouldn't have I had to fill it with, uh something, hmm so I used liquid nail, I had it on hand, and it worked. 

For hanging I used a fancy hook, I love these there's no guessing if its straight or not, but I think I need to make one on the sides to balance it when it has stuff on it :)

The finish outcome, I'm extremely pleased, with it, I can't wait to hang it up and drape towels on it. 

Oh I'm happy and I can't wait to show off the finished bathroom. Till next time!
