This is one of the most innovative and cost efficient DIY makeover I come across. I will be tackling this project at some point and will update when I do. Great Job TayMarie!
Of course! Lots of us are tight on funds these days but still want to upgrade our living space…sometimes you have to get creative and meet in the middle! 😊
Thank you so much! I really wish I had gotten better pictures/videos of the house before we started working on it so I could do an entire house makeover video!
Great job ❤ you did amazing it looks beautiful and on budget it's a win win ... Are you planning on doing the rest of the doors in your house or are you just doing projects one by one as time comes 👍👍👍
The rest of the doors in the house are actual new 6 panel doors! The bathroom door was a weird hard to find size and the door frame itself is very out of square, so replacing it would have been a pain! This was the solution I came up with!
Thank you so much! I did this project during the hight of the pandemic when wood was ridiculously priced…so this was just a win win! Nothing better then an decent upgrade for a few dollars 😜
Thank you for the creative tutorial. I'm definitely doing this. .. I live in manufacture home.. Everything is cheaply made also, I'm updating my color scheme. I'm following you now so looking forward to your next project. Peace and Good health!
@ken84deb We have the same type of home and we're remodeling. And wow how we're coming across all the "creative" building. Haha. Drywall for shelves. What!?!?. Well, may I ask what you're doing for your doors? We have some that need new because theyre busted and cant be fixed. Everything seems to be custom size. Also, any idea why the doors do not go down to floor level? (Mine are atleast 3" above) Thanks.
Lowe’s/Home Depot. Trim pieces. Waaayyy easier to measure, way less cuts (one to two pieces max), better quality (real wood), almost same price.💫now you know
Do you think you're some genius for saying to buy trim at home depot, duh 😂 It's much more expensive; the point of this video was to be thrifty and apparently that flew over your head
This door is in our rental property so I don’t know the extract wear and tear it’s getting, been it’s been about a year and they look just as good as the day I finished them! I’m sure if you used slightly more expensive wood frames it would hold up for as long as the door!
This is our rental unit so I haven’t seen this door since I did it because it’s now occupied! But I know I made one panel larger then the other. This was a skinny door, not a standard size door. The frames were 14” wide but I don’t remember how long I made each panel, I apologize!
Try using a high quality primer before you paint, it will stop any tannins from bleeding thought causing yellowing. I always recommend buying a paint and primer separately. Hope this helps! And I used the Behr Ultra Scuff Defense in white!
Nice! It's so annoying hardware stores don't sell the ready-made square or rectangle trims. I want to make a 4-panel rectangular one. Such a hassle without the right tools.
Definitely! I did look into some online options that you just stick on the door and paint over if needed, some were wood and some were that PVC stuff. But they were like $30-$40 per panel! It would have cost a hundred just to do one door…might as well just get a bran new panel door at that point 😂
They also now sell a scissor type tool to cut trim pieces either straight or even 45° angle, just like cutting paper w scissors. It's very easy w thin trim pieces. Try them, they even sell them for $10 or less, Temu even sells them. It's easier then ever to tackle sm projects at home now a days w all the DIY out there. If they made them ready for doors in square shapes, it's basically pic frames..... Try it, u can do anything u put your mind to. Good luck, don't forget to pick up the scissors that now cut trim at any angles!
@@micheleln3267 Thanks! I've just recently added shears & pliers to my Temu & Shein cart for different purposes. I did try looking for pic frames, but the specific length it needed to be made it so expensive (I have ten doors in my house; i.e. 80 pic frames - 8 on each door/4 on each side - of the required size was just too much). Also, I found it so hard to find what I now know is called "astragal decorative moulding" ("Ashford Molded Classic Wainscot" in America) or "ogee moulding" in the right length & wood-effect material. That day of extensive searching was a struggle!🤣 What's the exact name of these 45° angle trim scissors?
I would definitely recommend using a primer if your door doesn’t already have a layer of paint on it. If it is already painted and you just want to update it/change the color, then lightly sand and use any black paint you would like! There are also combined paint and primers you could use, it’s one product with both in it :)
I used 5 frames total for one side. One of the 5 is used for “parts”. I broke the 5th frame down and used the longer two sides to elongate the top decorative panel and used the smaller two sides to elongate the smaller lower decorative panel. You might even be able to get away with 4 on a smaller door and might need 6 for a larger door. Hope this helps :)
Just the one side! All the other doors in the house were the hollow core wood doors so I just did that one side to complete the mini bathroom remodel I did :)
@TayMarie thanks for the response! I'm new to DIY stuff, plus a new homeowner. All my doors are flat on both sides. Is it a better practice to add these frames on both sides or just the side facing the exteriors of the room?
Are you wondering if you can glue the frames/trim to the already primed door? If so that shouldn’t be a problem at all. You will just paint over everything once the adhesive has set :)
It would of been about x5 the price but yes absolutely! I think I even say that would be a great option in the video! This project cost me $4 because each frame was $1 ☺️
Just the one side for this specific door since the outside leads to a small hallway where there are two bedroom doors that are wood/brown :) I would have loved to do both side, maybe in the future when we replace the other doors!
Cheap and super quick to do with minimal cutting... A little unsure why you didn't paint the inside of the door though, and when it was rehung, there was a massive lob side gap in the top left-hand corner???
I explained why in the video :) The gap was there before and much worse, I was actually able to level it out a bit but it’s an old house with lots of bad settling, the entire frame was completely out of square. The white made the gap a lot more noticeable though!
Fun little two day project with dry times! The door was an odd size so we figured it would be fun to give it a little face lift instead of trying to find a new door that would work :) Thank you!
I love how easy that was. I'm doing that to my doors. Much more affordable than buying new ones
You got that right!
Best of luck with your doors, I bet they will turn out beautiful :)
What a fantastic idea to us use the photo frames, i am going to steal that idea :) Great video thank you
Go for it! Makes things a little easier, especially if you can find frames that are the exact size you need :)
This is one of the most innovative and cost efficient DIY makeover I come across. I will be tackling this project at some point and will update when I do. Great Job TayMarie!

Wow . She's got more talent in her little finger than most people, including me .I'm not into DIY but you've inspired me
Haha thank you! You have to get crafty sometimes when you are ballin on a budget 😂😉
These doors turned out incredible. I cannot wait to see how the entire home turns out!
Thank you so much! I really wish I had gotten better pictures/videos of the house before we started working on it so I could do an entire house makeover video!
Thank you for sharing this . i was look ways to update my flat with little money thx again :)

Great idea. Came out really nice. Good job.
Thank you so much! It’s holding up really well too :)
So clever!!
Love it! Also love the kitty socks :)
Always rocking the fun socks 😉
This is very nice! I will try doing this to mine.
Go for it and have fun! 😁

That was so creative! Good job!
AWESOME! THANK U!
Good Idea.
Great job!! What are the measurements/distances for placement of the squares? Top to Bottom, Side to Side????
Girl, good for you!!!!!!
Why thank you 💁🏼♀️😊
Great inspiration, ty!! Are the frames plastic?
Good job❤
Door looks ten times better than before. About to do something similar so ended up on this video.
Just adds so much character to what was just a boring hollow core door! Best of luck on your project! 😁
Thank you for this video, huge inspiration and help!
I’m so happy you found it helpful! I’m all about making things beautiful on a budget 😉 Thank you for watching!
Omg you’re a genius!
Haha thank you 😎
That is so cool
I've got the hollow 70s doors, brown and black and textured. These she is using are smooth. Hmmm. I don't know if i want to sand or leave textured.
This is a project for my apartment doors.😉
How do u measure the gaps
BRAVO!!!
Your literally the goat 🐐😩🔥❤️❤️
That is genius.
Wow awesome 👌
Thank you! Cheers! 😁
You make it look so easy. Can you add what type of primer (alkyd or latex) finish (what sheen?)
Any primer should work for you! I used Kilz all purpose primer and then Behr Scuff Defense paint in Satin
Excellent content
Why thank you! It was a fun project!
Beautiful job! Wondering if you decided to paint the edges where you put your hinges?
I did not since I only painted one side of the door, but if I painted both sides I definitely would have!
Nice!
Why didn’t you pain the sides of the door?
Thanks for sharing this! I plan on doing this to at least 6 doors if i can🥴 how are the doors holding up so far? Any chipping of the paint? Thank you!
This door is in our rental property so I don’t know the extract wear and tear it’s getting, been it’s been about a year and they look just as good as the day I finished them! I’m sure if you used slightly more expensive wood frames it would hold up for as long as the door!
@@TayMarie23 got it! I'll definitely try it with wood from the hardware store. Thank you for responding back!
What were the final dimensions of the frames on the door when you were done
This is our rental unit so I haven’t seen this door since I did it because it’s now occupied! But I know I made one panel larger then the other. This was a skinny door, not a standard size door. The frames were 14” wide but I don’t remember how long I made each panel, I apologize!
@@TayMarie23 that’s okay! Thank you for replying ☺️
Does anyone know what paint to
Use for painting your door?
We used the Behr scuff defense which is good for doors and baseboards and other surfaces that get touched often
I loved it !!
Wondering what did u prime it with and the final
Paint over didn’t look very shiny was it matte or just semi glass ?
I believe I used general Killz primer and I forget the brand of paint I used but it was likely Satin, Satin is always my go to no matter the project!
What paint did you use for the door?? I find that the paint I’m using always ends up turning yellow in the long run.
Try using a high quality primer before you paint, it will stop any tannins from bleeding thought causing yellowing. I always recommend buying a paint and primer separately. Hope this helps!
And I used the Behr Ultra Scuff Defense in white!

What Amazon paint needs no primer? I'm looking for a black one

I believe 4 or 5, this project was over a year ago! By definitely not more then 5!

@TayMarie thanks for the response! I'm new to DIY stuff, plus a new homeowner. All my doors are flat on both sides. Is it a better practice to add these frames on both sides or just the side facing the exteriors of the room?
You can definitely do both sides! You can even keep the doors hanging on the hinges and just slide some cardboard underneath to catch any mess!
Where did you get the mini hack saw? Great idea😊
Harbor Freight! It comes in a kit with several cheap little tools. If you don’t want the whole kit I bet they sell them on Amazon :)
How to restore to modernize old kitchen cabinets that are not flat
What if u already primed the doors so far n I'm going to paint
Are you wondering if you can glue the frames/trim to the already primed door? If so that shouldn’t be a problem at all. You will just paint over everything once the adhesive has set :)
Great
You should have painted the edge where the hinges are
U could gave used wooden trims from lowes the size you want and would have worked cheaper too.
It would of been about x5 the price but yes absolutely! I think I even say that would be a great option in the video! This project cost me $4 because each frame was $1 ☺️
Did you redo both sides of the door or just one?
Just the one side for this specific door since the outside leads to a small hallway where there are two bedroom doors that are wood/brown :) I would have loved to do both side, maybe in the future when we replace the other doors!

DIY it’s here! Subscribe! Thanks 👍
DIY and chainsaw carving…quite the combo huh 😂
@@TayMarie23 With you it really, really is! 🫶🏻
Oh no!

Hi genius
Haha, why hello! :)
Way too much work. Just go buy some trim. Little bit more money 1/4 of the time.
I mention trim in the video :)
ps are you on tick tock ?
I am not, I tried the tik tok thing but I’m just not cool enough to keep up 😂 So I chill on YT and IG mostly!
