The faux wood looks lovely, but the gold plated window in the middle would have looked way nicer with it...
Gross. That window was hideous. Love the clear, open view.
Either way, she has to take the glass out to paint the door, it wouldn't been ruined either way.
@@n0srep why would she need to do that? She didn't remove the glass while painting
@@Jade-fs9kh since the center glass already shattered she no longer had to remove it, but you need to paint the wood on the inside to have it match everything else. Other wiles you'll have random lines of whatever color the door was before in the center which honestly feels like it would be a cool effect but it's something most people intend to avoid
No it would not gold decor is hideous it looks much better now
I'm pretty sure the storm door is for your protection. From the elements and from people. Now look at the huge glass window to bust and step through. And you just posted it on the internet for an endless amount of people to see.
It's cute but this isn't the smarted thing you could've done.
It hurts my heart that you busted up that gold plated glass and completely took it out, it looks boring now. You barely see goldplated glass nowadays, and it is so hard to find yet so elegant and beautiful.
Your opinion, her house.
@@teetee19768 agree, but she could’ve made a lot of money by just replacing the whole door and selling the door with the play the glass if it wasn’t particularly her style
@@Cyndy101now ask yourself the same question. Nothing wrong with what they said either 💀
@@Cyndy101 your comment is unnecessary yet u still felt the need to write it. Lol 😂
@@Cyndy101 why are you mad? Calm down Jamal
So your telling me that you ruined a perfectly nice emerald green with gold plated glass for this brown cheap looking trash?
This is honestly so sad. That door was beautiful. Ya ya not my house but she literally made it uglier.
Good point you made there. “Not my house”. Not everyone has the same taste
cry more
@@dikkenjurhas 😂😂 I appreciate a shoulder to cry on. Man, your name truly does bring Harmony. Thank you ❤️🙏
I love when people delete their comments 😅😅😅
@@Jasmine-bp2cm yes but she said "ugly and 80s" she made it more 80s 😂 but I just honestly was jealous of the green and gold vibe.
Not sure if this is considered upgrade.. and now if feels like people inside are vulnerable from peeping Tom.
I though you removed the side windows also ?
😂 she removed I’d just to put it back it was nothing wrong with that door she just needed something to do all she had to do was paint it cuz now the two side windows look weird
@jhaneice johnson no it doesn't. She should've got rid of the side windows also.
@@scratchingthesurface5589 so you disagree with me only to agree with me lmao ok
@@scratchingthesurface5589 you have no taste. It looked better before agreed EVERYONE but you.
I like both versions of the door, but the old one had more character.. maybe would have left the glass inside, then swapped the color to brown with golden accents
The bottom looks really streaky though, it looks like a DIY attempt. I liked it when it was green; taking off the frosted glass lets people look right into the house from outside you have no privacy, that’s why you’re forced to put a huge ugly wreath there now. A red door would have been even better IMO but hey it’s not mine.
That glass didn't look frosted before to me. I must not be seeing very well!
I liked it better before
Horrible. You destroyed it. Looked so chic, now looks just cheap.
What glass is everyone talking about?
Thank you! The glass in the middle looks the exact same.
How much heat are you losing by removing the storm door? Your in Michigan, long cold winters in Michigan.
You put back the gold side windows
So we hated the gold, took all that glass out, to replace the sides?
She put them back after reading the comments but the middle was smashed from her taking it out so she had to replace it 😂 so dumb
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh yeah, I remember the ruined glass. It looked nicer before.
I liked it better in green.
No. Nononononononono!!!!!??
You DESTROYED that beautiful and unique door for THIS?!
NO!
FAIL!
It was a vinyl door!
@@loriand2798it looks boring! 🪴
Im sorry but that gold plated glass in the center was great, the current one if you remove that leaf circle thing(idk what it's called 🤣) the doors going to look like a coffin.
Why are people so pissed off over a door that’s not even theirs?
Don’t think your gonna get the effect with just paint. She left out the IMPORTANT part of the door already having the faux wood grain on the surface. If your door doesn’t have it you won’t get the same outcome.
Exactly this, she is saying how to faux wood in 2 steps but without that grain it would look awful. Actually not teaching how to create the effect 😑
People in the comments are harsh. I think it looks great!
the comment section of every renovation for legit anything is so annoying and nitpicky. ppl saying it looked better before, like you just lied omg?? if she was painting a brown door to green, y’all would’ve said she ruined the house’s history and it’s ugly, but if it’s from green to brown, now it’s ugly and the house has no character. please shut up!
😂
This only works is the door has faux wooden texture. Now it looks like you can’t afford a storm door. Plus, now you’ve exposed the door and lost insulating properties. 😢
You can buy inserts for your fiberglass doors. Look on the hinge side of the door and there is probably a sticker that tells the manufacturer of the door and you can just order a new oval insert and side lights.
The door looked so much better before
There’s already wood grain under the green paint. Please do this on mfd and show us how it looks or give that info up front so people don’t try this on a metal door or something.
I'm confused why you need a wood effect on a wooden door 🚪
Because it was painted over. You can only have a wood stained look on a door that has been stained not painted.
@@TheZMom_Emmelia you can easily strip the paint and get a much nicer stained result. What she did is really streaky.
@@ALT-vz3jn I don't know...since the door has grain and the inset design around window and the window frame itself it may be a royal pain in the butt to strip it.
My mom tried that technique in the sixties and made an absolute dog's dinner out of all of our furniture
I love deep greens and I'm a bit heart broken it's gone lol
I would have preferred keeping the gold paned glass on the inside. I then would have kept the gree. And just used an alternate color (either black, white, or gold leaf) on the raised portions of the door.
The brown paint looks good from a distance, but it looks plasticy, fake, and cheap up close. IMO.
Gorgeous and to me it looks more high end. You have a good eye.
It looks ok from afar, but it looks like crap up close. And the middle glass looks boring and tacky.
It looks great! 👌🏽🫶🏾
Nope looked better before and you need to have the wood textured door in the first place to get that look ..it doesn't magically appear with those 2 colors without that ..
Isn’t the brother like 21 why is he acting like he can’t use the internet because his parents don’t want him on it 😭
All you needed to do was paint it. Removing the glass was a total mistake and unnecessary
Why are people going back to 1970s Brown??
By the way I loved the dark green!!! And the pattern on the door.
Soooo you didnt even take the gold out on the other sides....so you made it look stupid...
Its videos like this that make me think bullying is sometimes ok
It just looks fake and cheap now.. like a plastic doll house that tried but failed.
Funny how a wood grain textured door could make it look like faux wood.
Sooooooooooo.... Like do you put curtains on the center glass thingy inside if there's no wreath on the outside.... Cause.. you know, somebody would just smash the glass and like steal things. HAHA
I wonder if she can put the film where you cannot see in from the outside.
All she did was paint her door and remove a storm door. Those can be put back. I think she did a great job.
It looked better before.
It only worked because the door already had a woodgrain texture to it.
Hate that simple glass also looks so unsafe.
Hope you don't get a storm~
how is this a faux wood "hack" if the door is clearly made out of wood?
You painted a wood door that's not painting faux wood.....
Looked so much better before
That’s gorgeous!!!! Wow!!! ❤️❤️
Idk why people are so ticked off about this, I think it looks lovely
the front door window looks so ugly no maam
A reminder: its not your house, guys
And you just saved a $1,000 job ❤
I loved the old colour 😔
Oh thank goodness you used that stain. I was worried about that paint colour. Finished product looks amazing.
I actually prefer the glass without the gold in the middle. I think it looks nice on the side, but in the middle it was overwhelming.
Looks amazing
I prefer the old one
I absolutely love it! Going to try this on my door.
Finally someone made this color i was thinking how i can transform the door color like wood.
Amazing! Thanks so much
So smart. Nice results. Simply beautiful.
Absolutely gorgeous well done 👏 👍
Looked better before.
Looked better before
well I think that looks amazing!!
READING THE COMMENTS I HAVE ONE QUESTION!!! WERE YOU PEOPLE NOT RAISED TO SAY NOTHING IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY??? YA'LL ARE EMBARRASSING!!! SHAME ON YOU ALL!!!
I DO NOT GET why all the comments are about liking the gold plated glass! It looks so old and cheap to me. I like the clear modern glass more, much cleaner!
I love it. A house is an extension of your own peace. Everyone else can go suck an egg. Okay that’s all.
Why did you paint/stain the trim over sidelines but not the trim over the door?
The "seaming" of what would be the stiles & rails of the door need work. There would be crisp lines where pieces of wood are joined together. All the artists that have faux painted doors & garage doors for me always tape off the doors and do one "grain" direction at a time so they get more realistic grain effect. I'd also recommend a lighter, more golden base color, with more than one color on top. Real wood has more than two colors. This door doesn't doesnt have enough color variations or grain movement to look like actual wood.
It does look good! It’s just strange to have to paint a wood door to look like wood, unless it’s a different material with imprinted wood grain.
I really liked it before you changed it...but still it's your home so 🤷🏻♀️
I love it! It’s a fiberglass door with wood grain right? My garage doors are the same material. I’m getting my house painted next month and I’ll either love it or…they just get painted with the rest of the house.
Um...great, but always take the hardware off. Don't tape it...remove it.
If your house has a storm door does that suggest to anyone besides me that maybe there is a reason for that door to have been installed in the first place? I am an Aussie so I dont know. I am also wondering what sort of storm the door would be built to protect from? Am I right in thinking it's something to do with protecting access in case of a tornado? Blessings, Dot
The original color was much better. Brown is boring as dirt. The glass door also was clean & elegant looking plus it gave protection from the elements.
Actually fyi you didn't have to do that brown base coat. Gel stain covers well. If your door gets alot of sun I would apply a UV protectant urethane over it or it will start to peel. Ask store for correct urethane because you don't want to use water base.
I think you did a great job! 👍
Why don't people take the hardware off when painting? This drives me crazy!
Add a piece of molding across the top. To fill in the Gap from the storm door and paint it just as you did.
The faux wood look is because the door already has a molded plastic fake woodgrain pattern in it that you just painted brown.
Uhmmm psssst hey...your front door ....it is real wood! No faux here....
You already have faux grain on your project so it wasn't really that difficult
It’s lovely, but can’t the storm door be painted and put back on ? The way my porch sits it’s must
Looks Nice,👏👍🤘🙂
MUCH BETTER LOOKING GOOD JOB
It really does look good. I was skeptical how the brown would look when it was. Eu g painted over green. but oh it turned out GREAT!!
but the door actually has wood grain... did you paint faux wood over real wood?
Your door without the gold plated glass looks so god damn boring. Feels so empty tbh and doesn’t go together with the other two side windows at all
The old one looked absolutely beautiful. Now your door has no personality.
WOW! Do you have a longer video with more details??
Personally, I also prefer the before version, but some of yall are being downright rude! This is her house, she can do what she wants and it looks nice! You did a good job, ma'am. even if it's not everyone's favorite style, the execution was nice.
Wow nothing but little brats on the comments I love this great job great vid
Love it
That much clear glass on your front door surely theres no privacy
Except u didn't really "teach" us anything.
Curious to know what color you used to paint the frame?
Does anyone know what is the name of the green color on the door? 🚪 thanks
Why does the glass look so weird on this door? Am I crazy or does it look wrong.
What sheen was the first paint?
I guess semi-gloss? Does it matter?
End it doesn’t hurt that your door already has a wood grain in bedded in the metal
