Incredibly well done! Lots of good information for if I ever need to do the same!

Not only was the old door dark inside that hallway, it was dark outside as well, without any real warmth or depth. Now even the color of the cedar trim coordinates with the stones outside, and it is inviting. I love how much more light you have than before. I had never heard of that stretch tape until watching your videos!!! Great idea even if it is expensive, you have it where you need it and where the cheaper stuff never seemed to be enough.

That came out nice, and I like the contrast between the trim and the door. Gives it a little "extra something" that sets it apart from typical entry doors.

Such a great transformation and of course video! That cedar trim adds such a nice touch too!

Great new look Erin, makes a huge difference inside too 👏👏👏👏😃

[AlteredBookeryCrafting]

The cedar trim around the black door... Excellent choice!

Looks great! Is there a privacy screen or blinds within the glass?

[mikevignoli]

Never roll paint on a door. Always get the best brush and if done correctly, it will come out impeccable. 40 years of painting and over 100 years of family business.

Are you concerned about privacy and safety with the clear door? Ho?w do you address those issues?

[atinamink]

To me, those old doors were much more beautiful, honestly!
