The Decorating is in the Details: Doors

The doors in this house are the typical hollow core doors found in most homes of this era.

 I hate them.

 In our last house, we replaced them with the six-panel doors you find at Home Depot, the $25 ones. A step up, but also not my favorite.

 I wanted something a little different this time. But everything I liked was really expensive, like over $100 expensive, especially times 8 doors.

I was trying to figure out how we could make something affordable when I saw something on Pinterest that changed my life (well, maybe I'm exaggerating just a little): beadboard wallpaper! I knew this was my answer.

I measured the doors and decided how big I wanted the panels to be: 18" x 34" . Then Husband miter cut some small trim and we glued them around the panels, calked and painted everything white. 

I left the handles, just spray painted them with Krylon satin metallic spray paint, oil rubbed bronze.

Total cost per door: about $25!

Now I love them!

What decorating dilemma do you have that can be solved with just a little thinking outside the box?
