The doors were painted in a similar technique to the other cabinetry. The wood can be stained, then multiple layers of paint were applied in various colors (reds, blues, browns, etc). The worn look is achieved by then hand scraping, sanding, marring (ex: steel wool) the layers of paint away then topping with a clear finish coat. The painter played with a number of techniques to acquire the homeowner's desire. Hope this helps!

I really like the rustic not of the outside TV spot. It's really amazing. Even the contrast is kinda blending with the rest of the stuff. The TV is concealed and everythinh looks amazing. I've seen a lot of TV concealing and mounting ideas, but this one is a very clever solution for the outdoor premises.
