Refinishing a front door

This door is dated and in need of some work. The oak door had weather damage and needed a fresh new look.
When dealing with something like this the best thing to do is stain the wood in a dark colour.
Oak has a very prominent grain that is beautiful but when it has many imperfections the repair can be challenging!
The door was stripped down to the bear wood and all the imperfections filled with a wood fill.
A dark brown/black finish was applied in a stain.
This dark rich colour blends all of the wood fill and the damaged parts that simply cannot be fully repaired but now is hidden with this rich stain.
A Marine finish was given over top to protect the wood as it is a strong finish for exterior doors.
The end result is gorgeous and gives the entrance a new updated look

Painting is a must: the table and chairs were painted a brown/black and chairs were re-upholstered and simple accessories to complete
The drapery was removed and trim work painted white with fresh white wood blinds
Really cleans the look up
The room was also repainted in a fresh color
The clutter was removed from the counter and simple accessories in small grouping makes for a much nicer look.

...another bedroom for the younger brother! Different style than the previous one but just as nice




This room has warm colors of browns and taupes!! Just like his brother in my last blog, he has a custom window seat with storage added. The roman shade gives a classic look to the window and provides privacy when needed. The headboard is done in a chocolate brown leather with stitching to give an authentic look while framed in a solid brown color. The bedding has a stripe fabric which works perfect for the room!!

Cool and Inviting Bedroom

This bedroom has a custom made headboard of leather that replicates the look of eel skin and framed in wood and we gave it a black color
The window seat is perfect for any room and with the addition of storage below is a plus. The print on of the bedding is enough contrast. The walls are painted in a beautiful silver grey and with the off whites in the room and chrome accents it's perfect! On the opposite side a great seating arrangement! All that's left is some artwork and the room is complete,

Eclectic Powder room

Below is a before and after of a powder room
Two unique looks. The changes we made all have been done using paints and mosaic mirrors and lots of creativity!!
The staple pieces stayed the same only the accessories changed.

This eclectic powder room was so much fun to do!! The use of textures and the color selection makes this unique.
The cabinet was painted black along with the mirror that was once gold and the addition of the mosaic mirrors that embellish both pieces give this a glamourous look.
The walls are a champagne silver with a large damask stencil applied all over.

Let Tapestry Decor help you achieve the limitless potential in your home!!
