Our open plan living-dining-kitchen area works great for all purposes, but I wanted to add some fun to this boring kitchen pantry wall. We have two big pantry cupboards which I love, but all seemed too white in this area of the home with no texture or interest.
I, of course Googled and Pinterested (is that even a word?) around to get a lot of ideas, and the most inspirational for me was this blog from Sherri. I wanted to convert my pantry flat doors into a paneled door with trim and a chalkboard.
I'm sure you've seen lots and lots of blog posts of completely transformed doors, and I am going to share with you one simple transformation that is so easy and fab to do, and the best part is you can use this method to dress up whichever room door you like.
