Nex 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Hi nex, r u changin your door? I m not changing the doors.... juz keep the original ones, then i gave it a new coat of paint.... then most probably do up some designs on it... either by drawing, or "wood sticks", so got to come out wif a design first... anyway i m changing the door knob onli, so that it dosent look so "ugly" reasons y i didnt change the doors, 1) budgeting (each door will cost abt $300+, 3 doors will cost abt $1000 alr) 2) dont find it necessary, cos no matter wat, its still a piece of wood, unless u r changing it to fire-retarded ones.

If u intent to do wallpaper on doors, u got to consider the surface smoothness , which means u nid to sand or paint the door 1st, also if u want to stick the wallpaper yourself, practise 1st, unless u hv done tis b4. Tis is very impt especially if u chose a pattern dat is less forgiving wif alignments. If u r handy, can buy doors from ****, varnish and install it yourself . One of my friend did dat and saved about $100+ per door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
