Faux Painted Garage Doors

, , ,
When we recently got the new wooden gate for our home, we started thinking we need to dress up the garage doors.  It's the first thing you see when you drive up.  Not my favorite thing, but that's how it was designed.  I prefer garages off to the side.

We looked into replacing our garage doors with new ones....the carriage look.  We got several bids and looked into Costco too.  We didn't want to go with wood, because our garage doors are exposed to full sun all day.

Our garage doors are more of a modern design with horizontal panels.

I research Craig's list and found some faux painters.  We decided to go with Irina, from IP Art and Design.  She is very artistic and has a large gallery of photos.  It's fun to see the before's and afters.
You can find here on Facebook and here.
New Look!

After



Now, we have our new wooden gate and faux painted garage doors for more curb appeal.
My husband added  hardware to the doors to mimic carriage doors. He ordered them from Amazon.



See the decorative clavos on the gate?  Those round clavos add character. We are thinking about adding them to our garage doors. False nail heads *decorative * Powder coated * Clavos means Nails in Spanish


Happy Friday!

    I don't ever think I've thought or uttered the words: that garage door is beautiful. But I am now. And it is.

    That was a great idea to have the doors finished like that. Inlikenthenaddition of the hinge look. The clavos sound like a good idea although where to place them on the door I'd have no clue. That gate is wonderful. :-)

    Well, I just took a tour of your home and it is beautiful Linda, and the grounds are magnificent! Such beauty and solitude. Garage doors are great and I like the hinges-these are all in style now-exactly what we are choosing for our home too.
    Enjoy your Saturday evening,

    Linda, Amazing!! I do have to say that the person you chose to faux paint your garage doors is a true artist. They are simply lovely.

    I do hope you can stop by to visit my blog in the next day or so and leave a comment, I am celebrating my second blog anniversary with a fall table linens give-away and the winner will be announced Thursday on my August 20th tablescape post. Have a lovely evening.... Candy

    She did such a beautiful job, Linda! It flows so wonderfully with your gate. Amazing what they can do with paint now! I truly love your red pots. There is something about the combination of deep red and browns that is so comforting and welcoming.
    Gorgeousness!
