Faux Carriage Garage Door:

I was at Home Depot the other night picking up supplies for my new railing, when I spotted 2 of these in the clearance section.  The kit sells for around $23.00, and they were marked down to $6.00!  Score!!!

 

So I left you off here on the garage door.


...and now it looks like this...




This was seriously sooo easy to do!

Wait till you see what I did with the 2nd kit that I bought!
Stay tuned! =)

    1. I need to know what color you ended up going with on this “re-do” of your garage. I think it will go best with our house accents.

  2. This is such a good look. I did this to my garage door a few years ago and I can not tell you how many compliments I have gotten on it. Right after I got it most people actually thought I had had a new one installed when it was really 15 years old. What a facelift it can give.

  3. I am a bargain hunter like you and that was an awesome deal. I love the way this looks. It gives it an "old world" charm. That's a great way to give an instant look change without having to pay the costs of getting a new door. Now off to Home Depot I go to see if I can find them on clearance here.

  4. You can also use “vinyl stickers” Yup! They have permanent vinyl (very similar to the same vinyl used on bumper stickers, mailbox numbers, etc) I don’t have a picture but I did the vinyl stickers with my silhouette machine and oracal 651 vinyl. I purchased the “stencil” for the hinges and handles from the Silhouette store for 99 cents! No holes in doors and if you need to freshen the stickers, just cut out more. Sold the house after “stickers” were on for over 5 years and they still looked good! I e heard there are magnets as well but haven’t actually looked for them. My new house came with the hardware already on the garage door and after 3 years in the full sun-I had to repaint them.
