I always love transforming the old pieces that I pick up at flea markets and garage sales--like this one....
actually one of 2 old cupboard doors that I found at a flea market this summer--$5.00 for both--that's $2.50 each! You can't feel guilty about messing up on these at that price, and they are a pretty good size too--18 x 30
So--first step--
putting on my first layer
next step--the sunflowers
used a palette knife for the first time--once I got the hang of it, it was fun to do
the finished door--
so happy with this--don't pass up those old doors or whatever you may see at flea markets that could very well end up in the trash--it's always fun seeing what you can do with pieces like these. so now.....on to the next one!

Wow! This is fabulous. You did a wonderful job. What will you do with them now?
Oh Diana! I am always over the moon for your work. I'm still so saddened that I lost my piece that I bought from you (I think I mentioned that it fell off my wall and shattered), I've been wanting to replace it. One of these days I'm going to go shopping at your site again. I can't wait!
Oh My! An amazing transformation! Chrisx
It's beautiful. It reminds me of Monet's Sunflowers.
Love this, and totally inspired!
