I got a bi-fold panel door from my friend, Sue, to use in my booth as a corner backdrop. It was white and I knew I was going to paint it to stand out from the white walls in my booth. It is upside down in this picture because I need to remove the thigamajig from the bottom that catches on a track.
I wanted to do two colors on it. I couldn’t find any pictures on Pinterest or Google images to get some idea of how I wanted to go about it. So, I wound up winging it! I painted the inset panels first with a La Craie paint sample I bought from Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage in Debutante.
I did the outer portion of the door in a black satin paint I already had.
Then I added some stencils. I did a No. 51 for my booth number in white.
And here it is in place in my booth.
I really like the way it turned out. I also picked up two shutters and I just painted them black. They will be going up on either side of the entrance to my booth {under the pink tissue paper flowers}. Other additions I made were the two tissue paper flowers at the entrance and a black flower ball {over the chalkboard with my booth name and number}, along with a few items to sell and moving things around a little.
I did hit an estate sale and a couple of yard sales two days in a row and found a couple of pieces of furniture. The bad news is I kept a bench I found for myself, but the good news is that the table it is replacing in the sunroom will be going to the booth instead. I should have the items that need paint done and ready to go for the beginning of next week, so I’ll share those with you soon.
Oh wow! It looks amazing now! The panel really made a huge difference!
