Modernize Your Interior Doors | DIY Projects With Dollar Tree Items

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

[@monte972]

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

[@TayMarie23]

That’s why I recommend that as well in the video ☺️

[@MarilynRossSmith]

I love how easy that was. I'm doing that to my doors. Much more affordable than buying new ones

[@TayMarie23]

You got that right! Best of luck with your doors, I bet they will turn out beautiful :)

[@elainewiley1200]

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!

[@TayMarie23]

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! 😊

Beautiful work lady, I will follow your path and start my work in the coming week. Great job, thanks!

@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.

[@successdrivingcircle]

Great help! Thanks😃

[@ameliacraiig4193]

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.

[@TayMarie23]

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 😂

[@micheleln3267]

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!

[@ameliacraiig4193]

@@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?

[@robg5509]

Nice!

[@therealtoni]

You make it look so easy. Can you add what type of primer (alkyd or latex) finish (what sheen?)

[@TayMarie23]

Any primer should work for you! I used Kilz all purpose primer and then Behr Scuff Defense paint in Satin

[@donnataylor8355]

Wow awesome 👌

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you! Cheers! 😁

[@conniebilodeau-duggan3188]

Beautiful job! Wondering if you decided to paint the edges where you put your hinges?

[@TayMarie23]

I did not since I only painted one side of the door, but if I painted both sides I definitely would have!

[@UnlimitedAspirations24]

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 ?

[@TayMarie23]

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!

[@Aulama]

Great

[@LM-ye5dd]

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!

[@TayMarie23]

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!

[@LM-ye5dd]

@@TayMarie23 got it! I'll definitely try it with wood from the hardware store. Thank you for responding back!

[@hehs3469]

❤❤❤ , "*". AND GIRL FRIEND , I THINK THE DOOR . LOOKS NICE ,. SWEET , DECORATIVE , NICE JOB "*" , ❤❤❤ ,

[@aidalay4043]

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.

[@TayMarie23]

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!

[@amunkhufu]

Great video. Do you do this for both sides of the door or just one side?

[@TayMarie23]

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 :)

[@amunkhufu]

@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?

[@TayMarie23]

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!

[@abbyiyer2011]

U could gave used wooden trims from lowes the size you want and would have worked cheaper too.

[@TayMarie23]

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 ☺️

[@BASE-hb1ji]

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???

[@TayMarie23]

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!

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

Does anyone know what paint to Use for painting your door?

[@TayMarie23]

We used the Behr scuff defense which is good for doors and baseboards and other surfaces that get touched often

[@tracimcdonel5551]

What were the final dimensions of the frames on the door when you were done

[@TayMarie23]

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!

[@tracimcdonel5551]

@@TayMarie23 that’s okay! Thank you for replying ☺️

[@danasmith5464]

How many frames did you buy to used for one side of the door

[@TayMarie23]

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 :)

[@annpatt2273]

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

[@TayMarie23]

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 :)

[@Sweetlady1916]

Where did you get the mini hack saw? Great idea😊

[@TayMarie23]

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 :)

[@3amusingchihuahuas890]

What if u already primed the doors so far n I'm going to paint

[@TayMarie23]

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 :)

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!
