Make A Hall Tree From Old Shutter Doors
9 Materials
Our first Hall Tree was very successful and we sold it exactly in 5 days. And than many people asked for a new one, we had no time to build new hall tree because of back custom orders.( Thank God) Our job is not to dense at the moment because of xmas, so we had time to make a new one.
First we sanded the shutters to removed the grime, than we cleaned it with a wet cloth.
They came out very clean as you see. For paint I thought 3 different colors. But the smart choice was the what we had in our hand.!!
I wanted a very different color and looks, so I started to paint with light blue color.
After we finished the old shutter doors, my husband cut 2 pieces from the doors than he cut the 2 pieces wood. One for seat, the other for a shelf.
And I painted with off white with my homemade chalky.. After painting all the pieces I decided to apply ,,,
dark glaze very slightly. But I didn't like the looks at all. So I repainted it it was to hard for me to cover the light blue. Finally I applied white wash on all the edges.
After that my husband put all the pieces together.
Now my new piece looks elegant and attractive!!With hooks and with mirror.
