Finally! Someone talked about how to deal with the new door thickness - I never thought to move the molding! Thank you!

Thanks for this. I woke up this morning thinking we could probably find a way to make our ugly doors attractive. I’m looking for a more modern style, but your project gives me courage !

Adorable! I love it! Our house was built in 1949, the doors are nice with glass knobs, but very dated, this is a great idea! Thank you!

Great for inspiration! I'm thinking: if your existing panels are thick enough you could also have sanded them down to then run a surface mill over your door. That would save time and materials ☺️ But you'd have to know for sure your panels are thick enough.

Please wear a mask when cutting or sanding MDF. The dust contains formaldehyde.

Thanks for this video, on another note if someone wants to buy new doors in near future I suggest Dako as a brand.

They are fabulous. Can I ask did you do the plywood MdF only on one side?

@heathercammack1656 2 жыл бұрын

Yes I did it on the side that was most visible

@laureradloff1616 9 ай бұрын

So I did this and unfortunately my door jams do not tap off like yours does. The door is now too thick to close. Any ideas?

@carlatolland8671 3 жыл бұрын

Did you cover both side of the door?

@heathercammack1656 3 жыл бұрын

No just the one that faces out of the room.

@LaylaBvOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

I bought a pack of 20 gold hinges from B&Q on sale for £5. I was made up, Im in UK though so not sure if you have that store were you are. I’m changing out the handles for gold too and painting the doors. I’m renting so had to get permission from landlord first but he was fine with it. So happy as the doors are horrible and are orange with fake wood.

How come you only did one side of the door? Wouldn’t this look weird?

@heathercammack1656 2 жыл бұрын

Because we only see one side of the door for the most part. It really wasn't that noticable, but you could certainly do both sides.

@Young937phoenix 3 жыл бұрын

I hate this look because the black line it leaves because of the gaps left but if you didn't do that it would just look like a flat door again lol. Ppl just do the modern shaker style you use alot less material and it be cheaper and look way better in the end in my opinion.

@teematt9087 3 жыл бұрын

Interestingly i liked the black lines, thought it added a bit of character as though intentional. Though I get the point about material use. But hey if you can afford it then go for it!
