Watch How I Make My Cheap Builder Grade Doors Look Like Wood Doors

For less than $50.00 I gave my home the look of expensive Oak doors without paying the Oak Door price.

Here is what my doors looked like when I got started. They are BOOORING! I wanted to give them a upgrade, but didn't want to spend 120.00 per door since I have 5 of them in the hallway. So I decided to get out my paint brushes and start making some magic happen...





Here is a quick peek at my hallway. It is all white and has NO character at all.





The first step was to paint the doors. I used a satin latex paint in a terra cotta color.





Once the door was all painted, the next step was to add the wood character using a GEL GLAZE in honey oak, and mahogany to add the appearance of wood grain and knots.





Here is my hallway now. It still needs a bit of work, but it is lots better than it was with just the plain white doors it had before.
So for under $50.00, I was able to give my home the look of expensive oak doors without the expensive oak door price tag.
