Using asphalt and a Tiffany blue paint, I could give a wonderful makeover and use it as a great decorative piece combined with the reclaimed door for the entrance hall.

The blue door
Reclaimed doors
Here is a recycling project from an old door I got from a demolition site.
The same day I bought the old Spanish window, I got this old door too for free (the one behind). Like the window, it was in a very bad shape: weather exposed, woodworm everywhere; the worst was the bottom part.
Once the woodworm removed, I applied a wood putty all over the damages from moths and humidity. After huge restoration and painting works I turn an old door into a great panel for my entrance hall.

Spanish window
Antique flavor recovery
Booming in Spain, demolition materials are all the rage! You find a lot of stuff that can actually be recycled. So I went to the nearest carpentry in an industrial area and discovered these wonderful Spanish windows. In spite of their very bad shape for being exposed to the weather, I saw their potential and purchased one for 50€...
Everything was in very poor condition: not only the frame was damaged but woodworn was beginning to affect the shutters.
