My husband and
I always loved the look of a carriage garage door and considered getting one
installed. But we never pulled the
trigger, because our current garage door was installed only a few years before
we bought our home and it’s of high quality.
So, of course, it is against my nature to replace something that is in
perfectly fine condition. But we still
longed for the look of a carriage door.
So, we decided
to give our current garage door a makeover!
First, we gave it a good cleaning with our power washer. Next, we applied a fresh coat of paint. We just used a white oil-based exterior flat
(one $10 quart did the trick). Boy, what
a difference that alone made! We decided
to even paint the existing hardware white so it would blend in. And we are pleased with the result; you can’t
even see the old hardware from the street.

Finally, we
screwed in the new carriage door hardware we purchased on Amazon for around
$20; the handles cost us around $6 and the brackets cost around $15. This project was done in just one day (it was
a nice sunny day, so the paint dried quickly) and what a difference! And the best part – the whole garage door makeover
cost no more than $30! That’s my kind of
project!

Instead of purchasing a new one, giving it a makeover was a great decision. Creativity and imagination, coupled with painting materials and hardware, are all that's needed to make this project happen. Congrats for a job well done!
