It’s All About the Details!

Yep, most of you guested right…..
I decided to make those tacky gold hinges a thing of the past!
I first did this paint treatment about 7 years ago in my master bathroom and the hinges are still holding up great.
Basic supplies needed.
For around $5 I updated all the hinges in my home to an Oil Rubbed Finish. The supplies I got from Wal-Mart.
1. Lightly sand the hinges and dust off with a clean rag.
2. Apply a coat of Rust-Oleum Black Enamel Paint. Let Dry.
3. Mix equal amounts of gold and bronze craft paint. {Only a very small amount was needed to highlight all the hinges in my home.} With a dry brush, lightly apply to highlight.
Edit: I should mention that I did try to paint a door handle a few years ago and it did NOT last. Maybe with more prep work (better sanding and priming), the paint would have not chipped. In my honest opinion, a door knob take a lot of wear and tear and it’s probably best to buy new. If some one has successfully painted their door knobs I would love for you to share.
Linking up to these fun parties – go and check out all the projects!
