Which parts are wood, which parts are stone?
Don’t Close the Book on Doors . . .

Instead, Transform Them into the Correct
Color and Texture for Your Home
Many doors are painted or are not made of wood. I try to give my clients as many options as possible, while using what is already in the home. When there is no need for expensive replacements, the design possibilities gain momentum and freedom.

This home has rustic beams, dark wood floors and old Mexican tile in the foyer. The doors are hollow core. I thought it would be wonderful to give the doors the look of wood with a sense of age.

The client was going to have the doors painted anyway. I put that money towards the cost of transforming ordinary doors into the look of rich wood. It doesn’t show well in the photo but I applied age marks and distressing. We kept the casing white.

I did a number of samples for my client before going with the brown. I just wanted to explore the possibilities. The top right photo is a sample of soft weathered. The same type of white hollow core door was used.

The bottom right photo shows a sample of a more extreme weathered look – we didn’t care for this look in the home, so I simply reapplied my base coats and redid it in the aged brown.
