sprucing up the front door

Post by tommymooney »

Wooden front door looking a bit tired - is there a simple way of sprucing it up a bit - I don't have the enthusiasm to strip the existing varnish off...

is there a 'one coat' cheats solution? clear varnish?

cheers.

How about painting it?

Ive found you get a better finish if you take doors off and paint them flat as the paint doesn't run.

Or just take the damned thing off?

Front doors are over-rated :wink:

I remember the days when you could leave your front door off... :lol:

that's a thought re: painting it - but agree, i'd probably need to take it off to prevent running.
