So many homes have cheap hollow wood doors, usually highly lacquered, almost always ugly. We spotted this makeover on Design Sponge, which comes complete with downloadable instructions. With some simple molding and a paint job, the homeowner made 12 dull doors look like beautiful, and kept them out of the salvage center.
