Tips from experience revamping stuff: May want to lay the door down on the floor while you place and glue the trim pieces to it, they wouldn’t so easily slide around, or even use a nail gun so the nails are very small and you can fill the holes with wood filler after and sand before painting. Sanding the trim pieces and the door would give the chalk paint a smoother surface to settle in, and light sanding between coats of paint makes for a super smooth finish as well. (All up to the individual, these are just things I’ve found through trial, error, and mentors to work well on projects like this.)
Thanks for the video. I have 11 doors i was not looking forward to replacing. And this is an older home with oddball size doors. This method would definitely be easier and less expensive
What a big improvement for such a small investment of time and money! I am inspired to update my own dated ugly doors. My "To Do" list gets longer every time I click on another one of your videos.
Hehe thank you for your kind words ❤️❤️ take it slow, one project, one wall at a time. That’s the way I had to do it through our house, with working and having two little kids at home :) Took me over two years. Although it has helped a lot to get stuff done now that the kids are older and more self-sufficient. LOL
Thank you for this video!! I have been looking for something like this for 2 years now ... I found you video how to paint metal and then after that video or your I found your !! 😊 can't wait to update my cheap material house !!
Thank you! I found this the most helpful and indepth video that I've found on this. I want to try it when we move into our new home! PS.. Your hair and make was gorgeous! You looked lovely without too😘
Coming across this video 4 years later & thank god. I have the same lovely, hollow, whatever decade doors & the cost especially since inflation to replace them make my hopes fall. Thanks for the video.
Glad to be able to help! I have been told the trim has gone up since this video, but check out your local lumber yard, and hope that you can find something Reasonable for wood trim cost :)
Hi Rachelle! I'm here from your pinterest article. You are so inspiring! I love the idea of not having to take door off hinges...I'm not crafty at all.. I don't like home projects, this is a perfect start.
Thank you for your kind words and you can do this project! It will make such a difference to the feel of your space! Just tape around the hinges if you don't want to take the doors off :)
Thank you so so much. This is exactly what I want for my doors! Really appreciate the easy step by step instructions and all the tips! Your doors look great. Can’t wait to do this in my home.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you, thank you, thank! Detailed instructions make it possible for me to attempt! I’m completely redoing my condo and will be attempting this for my doors, especially the interior of my front door which is fugly and I am unable to replace.
mybestideas1 thank you! You will have to use the thinnest wood you can do it doesn’t cause problem sliding. Maybe consider doing a fake line/design with a sharpie marker, wallpaper, or using 1/8” plywood 🤔
Thank you thank you thank you! I was not looking forward to replacing my 9 odd sized doors, my house is handicap accessible and I have extra wide doors for wheel chairs. This will save me so much headache!
What a great improvement! I was thinking of jus t doing the top and bottom of my hollow Doors ! I’m not sure they would really looks like a real door tho 🚪
Thanks for the great instructional video, I can’t wait to get started! Do you have a link to the Annie Sloan paint you reference that you used instead of primer? Is there a reason to use chalk paint instead of primer as your first coat? Will you be bringing you blog back online, looks like it’s down right now :(
Hello! I hope this video has helped! As for Annie Sloan paint, I would suggest to check out their website (www.anniesloan.com/) and see if you have a Stockist near by. Most of the stores are trained very well in paint and it’s fun to see it all in person. But the reason I chose it in this project was to be able to paint without sanding. And technically you can do that with the other primer I showed, and I have done that too, I just love Annie Sloan paints. If you do use a traditional primer make sure you use a no sand/high adhesion one like Zinner 123. As for the blog, I honestly don’t know. I am working on redesigning it all, but not sure what will stay or not. But it helps to know you noticed ❤️
This is very helpful. I was wondering if you sanded the doors and why didn’t you used nail guns to install the trims? Thank you and please make more of these videos
I was kind of thinking of staining my hollow doors but only to avoid painting. When we moved in, only one of the interior doors was already painted white and it has chipping. So I’m afraid to paint! It is worth it? If you do it correctly, does it hold up or does it clip a lot? I feel like it’s a lot of work for a temporary fix.
Mine have held up great! Re staining anything is much more work in my mind. If the doors are unfinished you could easily stain them, but even that work time/effort is comparable to painting.
Hello, curious if the door you painted here has groves in it or is it just smooth? My hollow core doors have wooden groves and I’m trying to see how that would turn out if painted. Thanks.
Danyelle Caulfield I cant find it on lowes anymore. But here it is from menards www.menards.com/main/building-materials/decking-deck-products/lattice-panels/3-16-x-1-1-2-x-8-treated-lattice-strip/1114310/p-1444436305307.htm
Annie Sloan paint is Chalk Paint :) it is made to adhere to slick surfaces without primer :) the doors have held up great over the years. But you could also use a latex high adhesion primer.
I did use Annie Sloan chalk paint for the under/primer layer. Annie sloan didn’t make the cabinet/trim paint when I made this video, but that would be a good alternative now too.
It is pretty smooth, not like a spray finish, but I wouldn’t really say it had any texture either. You can use a self leveling by paint if you want a super smooth look. Or spray.
We bought a house 2 years ago with hollow core doors. What if I want to paint them white? What annie sloan would you recommend and what overtop of that for white? This could be my Corona project lol
hehe, we all need a project right now! If you want to go white, with Annie Sloan you really could use any light color, light country Grey or chicago grey, but you could also use Old White. You could also use Bulls eye 123 primer. Then paint with any white latex or trim paint you desire. Or keep painting with Annie Sloan old white and wax. Lots of ways you could go here with what you have on had, etc.
@@OriginallyWorn thank you! I've ordered the country grey for Monday and going to put in an order for paintable caulking next! So happy I found your video!!
Would you be able to use an oil based paint on top of the chalk paint? 🤔 I have Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel...not sure if that can be applied on top of chalk paint or just on top an oil based primer. I'm excited to try this out none the less
Hello. I used Annie Sloan chalk paint for the primer and Sherwin Williams paint for the main paint. You could also use bulls eye 123 for the primer instead of the Annie Sloan.
Thank you for sharing this,this is really helpfulm I did my 2 doors successfully! But I spent $25 , (i chose the cheapest one)the price now is crazy and no bundle.
Hey!! This video is over 2 years old I believe and the doors look as perfect as the day I did it. So I would say yes, it has held up great ❤️ and I did paint all my hinges and handles black. I have a video on how I did that so they would stay painted also. They have held up great for the most part there too.
This looks fantastic! How wide were the strips that you used? I plan on cutting down hardboard and doing this. I love the look of the width of your trim, though!

Hello, I love your work. What was the primer called again?
Thank you! You could use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint of Zinnzer bulls eye 123.
My doors are about to be beautiful thank you so much💗 what about the closet doors like this?
Thanks! For the closet doors I did one long section instead of two.
This is very helpful. I was wondering if you sanded the doors and why didn’t you used nail guns to install the trims? Thank you and please make more of these videos
Hello. Glad to help! I did not sand the doors, as I used a high adhesion paint as a primer. And I didnt use a nail gun because you certainly could.
Wow.....That is amazing!!!
Thanks! We have had them done a few years now or so and I still love them!

What do you think about using a pre made wainscot and gluing it down? I don’t have any cutting tools
You could certainly do that! Also, some home stores will cut things down for you. Although it depends on a variety of factors if they will.
Thank you it looks amazing. Will definitely do that to mine as well.

Thank you so very much! ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome! Was wondering how to do this for our same door! Question: Did you use all the trim in the bundle? Thanks SOOOO much for this genius hack!
Thank you! I did use the lattice strips in the bundle as it was the cheapest thing in the size I could find.
I was kind of thinking of staining my hollow doors but only to avoid painting. When we moved in, only one of the interior doors was already painted white and it has chipping. So I’m afraid to paint! It is worth it? If you do it correctly, does it hold up or does it clip a lot? I feel like it’s a lot of work for a temporary fix.
Mine have held up great! Re staining anything is much more work in my mind. If the doors are unfinished you could easily stain them, but even that work time/effort is comparable to painting.
A contractor quoted $800 or more per door for trim and paint. So I came a looking on TY and found you.
That’s an insane amount! You certainly can spend more then $3 if you use nicer trim but more like $20 per door for nicer trim 🤦♀️ so crazy!
Would I be able to use wood glue to put the panels on the door? Or is caulk stronger?
Honestly I am not sure, you could certainly try. :)
Hello, curious if the door you painted here has groves in it or is it just smooth? My hollow core doors have wooden groves and I’m trying to see how that would turn out if painted. Thanks.
Hello. My doors are smooth.
Is it easier to lay the door on a table or the floor?
You certainly could if you wanted to. I didn’t find I needed to though.
Great diy
Thank you :)
Can you add a link to the lattice board at lowes?
Danyelle Caulfield I cant find it on lowes anymore. But here it is from menards www.menards.com/main/building-materials/decking-deck-products/lattice-panels/3-16-x-1-1-2-x-8-treated-lattice-strip/1114310/p-1444436305307.htm
Hi love the video. My door are hollow you only use the liquid nail to hold the trim
Zulma Rosario hello. Yes, just as shown. Only liquid nails :)
Sorry what type of AnnieSloan paint did you use. Latex?
Annie Sloan paint is Chalk Paint :) it is made to adhere to slick surfaces without primer :) the doors have held up great over the years. But you could also use a latex high adhesion primer.
Good job. I am going to spiff up the bathroom door today. Gonna use your method.
Thanks..
Hope you love it! Thank you!!
Are you using Annie Sloan “chalk” paint?
I did use Annie Sloan chalk paint for the under/primer layer. Annie sloan didn’t make the cabinet/trim paint when I made this video, but that would be a good alternative now too.
Thank you for this awesome video! Would it be okay to use a regular primer instead of the chalk paint as a first coat?
Hey! Thanks! And yes, certainly, as long as it is a high adhesion primer like BullsEye 123 or Kilz high adhesion.
Good question Linguist.
Thank you 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Does this door have a little texture to the touch, or is it smooth?
It is pretty smooth, not like a spray finish, but I wouldn’t really say it had any texture either. You can use a self leveling by paint if you want a super smooth look. Or spray.
so beautiful! I am going to do this!
