New (Looking) Doors on a Budget #DIY

Anybody having plans to changing the doors this summer? We found a great idea to make them look brand new by using the old doors and just refinishing them.

The complete DIY project in this step-by-step guide on ThisOldHouse:

1. Remove the door’s hardware
2. Sand the flats
3. Scrape the moldings

4. Hand-sand profiles and clear away dust

5. Seal door edges before rehanging

6. Choose a finish and apply first coat

7. Apply final coat and reattach hardware

Seems easy enough, but it takes some courage to start! 🙂 Best of luck! Show us the result if you do it! Or maybe you have some other secret way of refreshing the doors…???
