Transform a Plain Door into a Beautiful Paneled One for Just $12


Typical hollow core doors are not only cheap, they can also look cheap. You can get the look of a beautiful paneled door with just $12 in paint and plywood.

Jenna Sue details this impressive makeover on her blog and says that it’s a very easy project: Measure and cut the plywood for the paneling and secure it with a nail gun. Repeat on the other side. After some sanding and a couple of coats of paint, you’ve got an updated, richer looking door.

Jenna Sue’s entire home is pretty lovely, so you might want to take a look at that too here and her other DIY projects for more inspiration.
