Woman revamps her boring doors with stunning panelling for £13 a pop – and they would have cost £100 from the shop
A THRIFTY woman as left other DIY fans stunned after revealing her stunning new doors that cost her just £13 each.
The mum was looking at buying new doors to update her family home, but with a hefty price tag of £100 each she decided she could do a better job herself.
She decided to to re-create the shaker door style using a faux-panelling technique, which required nothing more than some scrap timber and paint.
It was a small change, really, but the simple hack not only saved her a tonne of money but it makes a huge difference to home too.
The mum shared snaps of the spruced up doors online where it was met with a huge amount of praise with many shocked at what can be done on a small budget.
Posting in the group, she said: “I absolutely hate my upstairs doors and they are stupid sizes, so no way am I spending £100+ per door.
“So me and the other half made our own shaker doors.Cost £40 for the wood. Massive saving!
"We did leave a little gap so the doors would close.”
She told online that her and her husband cut the wood to size themselves in order to create the shaker panelled doors.
The woman also revealed that they attached the wood with grab adhesive and small nails before finishing them with a coat of primer and satin paint to match the rest of the door.
The chic transformation was so popular online that it has racked up over 6k like on Facebook with hundreds of comments.
One person wrote: “Wow what a great idea we have three upstairs doors like this.I’m going to ask my hubby to do the same, thank you.”
Another exclaimed: “Thank you for inspiring me!”
And a third added: “I've got the same doors, never thought of this.
“Fab, it’s going save me a fortune!”
The mum even suggested using MDF rather than plywood for anyone wanting to do the same as MDF will make the project even cheaper
