| Our Bathroom Door desperately needed updating... as you can see in the photo above that Owen helped with. :) |
Hollow core door makeover round 2! This one was a little bit trickier, as there was a large hole in the door behind the strategically hung mirror.
I followed all of the same steps as outlined in my previous post...Hollow Core Door Makeover. To cover the big hole in the door, I cut a piece of luan (1/8 inch thick plywood) and wood glued it to the door. I then trimmed around it.

| This is the square that covers the hole. Because of the trim, you can't even tell that there is a board glued down over the hole. The luan has the same texture as the hollow core door (I think that the door is actually made of the same material). Once it is painted, the grain blends right into the door. I did run painter's caulk around the outside of the square prior to painting to make sure there were no visible seams. |
I primed once with Kilz, and put three coats of semi gloss (Popcorn, Martha Stewart - color matched to Behr).
I am going to tackle the boy's rooms next. I am thinking of replacing their hollow core doors with dutch doors - so I have been on the lookout for wood doors that I can cut down. I think a trip to the Habitat for Humanity store, ReStore, is in my near future!
