我喜欢你在旧门上的照片,给我很大的灵感。我想知道你是否知道是否可以用一扇古老的雕花印尼门,通过浇上漆来填补缝隙,使它变得光滑平坦,从而把它变成厨房的工作台顶部。这能行吗?你有什么建议应该怎么做?

Hey Keiren, you have shared a beautiful collection of recycled doors, I must say…!! Like the way you have mentioned about such old things, especially with the images. Even, me and my husband were thinking to renovate our office place and were wondering about new ideas for old stuff, and luckily, I went through to this post, and I’m sure it would be useful to us. Thank you for the sharing. Keep updating such posts like this.
