Wishing I had doors made of driftwood was the incentive for this project. Originally done 15 yrs ago and recreated here on these dbl doors. I had so many project after Hurricane Sandy. I can't be sad for my losses because she helped me remember my creative side and inspired this blog.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAMPsdl45MQJd9eJJVfbCy96YUxyg0NCoZG-B0Nz05991sD_tfVMLyB5GOKXSS5VDxkDKJknTEombsiMutq5RRIkGz86fGU7DgaGr98oGz-9ZdcfjANUNqbqt0D3lWSeFMYV5_Cjl7vtsx/s1600/DSCN0969.JPG)
Using a bristle brush ,I stained my doors with Dark Walnut MinWax![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjro7B22TzAwcgb6dCig2xLyIKPuD8ZX8Cr9Y2Ez_RfwGEIoyoWiVtqslk5VF9e2R0hVukPQgb445bAS9hQekRUKIkogls0AoNUhZfWQ_Bqf6fD25TDhbTaIHkKZuQs1tO8V3IVTM0W7BV3/s1600/DSCN0281.JPG)
After my staining was completed I use a 1/2 and 1/2 mix of flat white paint and glaze. Mix these together real well and brush on and wipe off with old rags.
The older doors had a coat of clear satin finish painted on to protect them but the new ones with the fish prints had a coat of clear Annie Sloan's wax.
All my beach buddies agreed that these looked like driftwood and they have always been a treasured focal piece in my home.
Here's helping you bring the driftwood effect into your home.
