 We just did a DIY thrift shop furniture flip on this old door and we turned it into a clock with a basket And we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back do it to do a builder to make it so do we and we have a new video Each week this week. We're gonna harness the power of 1.21 gigawatts go back in time and Flip the door How are we doing it back in time? Well, the door is old the door is old. Yes So I have been wanting a an antique door a shabby chic looking door to put in our front room so that we could add Door rounds take pictures of door rounds hang it on actually on a door on a door, right? I just wanted it to be a nice visual showcase it in its native environment. Yes But indoors the button But then I also saw in a magazine One of the farmhouse magazines where someone had taken a shabby chic door and turned it into a clock So I am thinking I want to do both I want one side of it to be used to hang door rounds And I want the other side to be a clock and I think we can kind of use both visuals in our front studio You love a dual purpose. I do Step one, we're gonna find a door gonna do a little shopping little thrift shop shopping. What what what? So Courtney and I went on a little shopping trip over to our local thrift store and you know, it's a summer day it's hot outside and Who doesn't wear sandals or flip flops in the middle of summer? So I'm marching the thrift shop We're looking around I tell her what I'm looking for she goes Oh, they're out back or it's actually on the side On a porch outside you can find them out there. Well, let me show you what that looked like Step two, we're gonna clean it up. She's a dirty girl She is a dirty girl. She sat outside on that porch for I don't know how long and we don't know how old this paint is So anytime you're doing a furniture flip when you're using old chipped paint You really should be testing for lead. So we have this 3m lead check test kit super simple to use We just crack the tube rub it on the door and what red means lead Yes, and then I did the second one and tested the green paint as well red means lead So we know we're gonna have to you the wear respirators from here on out mask up Yes, you don't want paint chips lead chips lead dust getting anywhere You don't want to breathe those in you don't want to ingest any of that. No, that is the last thing I need It is so the first step of cleanup for this door. We're gonna want to get the loose paint chips off of the door We don't want to have those chips flying around. We just want to gently scrape off anything that's super loose Before we go into our clean up Then we're gonna vacuum up all of those chips and throw them right into the dumpster We're gonna use some Murphy's oil soap and a bucket of water and try to start rubbing some of that dirt off Yes, we're just going to use a sponge We did actually use the green scratchy pad of the sponge because that did help get some of the dirt The really stubborn dirt off but our star of the show the superstar is magic eraser This did the best job three Now we paint or Shellac because our door has this lead paint on it You'll definitely want to either paint over it to seal that lead paint or in our case We want to keep the shabby chic look so we're going to seal it and make sure Encapsulate any of that lead paint to make sure there's no dust particles in the air Now we have the exits Just gonna take this quarter inch MDF over the glow forge to cut out some numbers for our clock face Inside the glow forge app. I'm just gonna use the thick draft board settings for my quarter inch MDF Then we're gonna paint bees black or tricorn Then we're gonna find the center of our door so we laid out our numbers and where we think they should be We're gonna create even spacing We're gonna add a little blue tape before we drill our hole for our clock motor The tape is to try and keep the wood from splintering during the drilling We're using a five sixteenths inch drill bit to drill that hole We can use the hole to find center between each of the four numbers We're gonna use our star bond thick glue to glue each of the numbers down directly to the door Next we're gonna go ahead and add our little shelf I found this at Hobby Lobby on sale. What was it 40% off? So it was a bargain and then it already had brackets for hanging so we just added two little quarter inch screws Super simple to install And lastly we're back to add our clock hands time to give it a hand Have you ever done a furniture flip before? Have you worked with lead paint before? What was your experience? How did you seal it? I think the shellac worked fine I'm able to rub my finger over the chip pieces and it's not moving so good job painting babe I think it looks great This is exactly what I was hoping it would turn out like and I love the shabby chic look That's the look I was going for I think it's gonna look great in our front workshop space Yeah, I like the try-to-and-paint color here. Although. I wish we could do something with these These hinges because they're pretty decorative. He's just ripped that thing right out there Now let me show you the back the back still so this is very deep inset in the front the back is Has all like little to no Distressing on it. I mean it looks pretty good. There is no chipped paint on the back so our plan is to hang a door hanger on the on the front and then hang a Door round right here and then display that so I think it's gonna give a great It's gonna be dual purpose, and I think it's gonna do a good job of both pieces I already tested it the door round does cover the cloth the cloth loader Big thanks to all of our patrons.
