Update Your Plain Garage Doors With an Easy DIY Project

 

Have you ever wished that you could update your plain garage doors?

We tackled that project on ours with amazing results!  With pre-packaged hardware that we purchased at Home Depot my husband was able to transform the plain, but functional, garage doors on our Forsyth County home into attractive carriage doors.

This is what we started with – a huge expanse of white… not bad, just a little too plain for a girl who likes her bling. 🙂
I loved the results, and I am so thankful that a friend mentioned this technique to me.
It was a three-car garage so the project did take the majority of the day, but I feel that the effort was well worth while and I loved driving up to our home  and enjoying the change.
As a Forsyth County real estate agent, I also know that this type of easy DIY update will add value to your home when you get ready to sell.  I often have real estate clients ask me what type of DIY projects they can do to upgrade their home, and I believe this is a great one to choose.
Easy way to update your garage doors with a DIY project
I made the huge mistake of not taking a good “before” photo so I am stuck with a just a stock photo and now I’m sorry!  But, you can still see what a major impact this project made to our curb appeal.
If you decide to try this DIY project, I’d love to see your before and after photos, so please send them my way.  If you have questions about which easy DIY projects will add value to your home, or if you have Forsyth County real estate you’d like to sell, don’t hesitate to drop me an email or give me a call.  I’d love to talk to you!
