Another chalk paint project

I'm not quite sure why the mood hit me this last weekend to finally tackle the old door that has been sitting downstairs for a year. Actually, when I told Aaron I was finally getting to the door after a year, he corrected me and told me it has actually been two years it's been sitting down there. 

My mom brought it from my grandparent's farm, which I think is neat. I love that it's not just a random door from the thrift store. (Although, I do plan on thrift shopping the next time I'm in Bismarck to see what else I can find to chalk paint!)

Anyways, here are the pictures. The first one is before, the second is right after I got done chalk painting it, and the third is after I got done dark waxing it and right before Aaron put it up as our headboard. I must admit, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I was kind of worried the color would be bright, bright red. (I used a cheaper chalk paint from Michaels...I think it was only about $5 compared to the $30 (?) or so can of Annie Sloan chalk paint. Granted, this was just a small bottle but it did cover up the whole front of the door so it worked out great!)
