Raised paneling was installed w/MDF boards and casing. Square columns were built up and around the opening with MDF boards and crown moulding.
Popcorn ceiling scraped off. Sanded and patched and wiped clean. Used orange peel texture and primed.
Old firedoor needs to be replaced! I didn't think about replacing it as I knew firedoors were expensive.
Found a nice 2 panel firedoor for $50! Got it and replaced it. Also replaced casing around the door and did some minor repairs to the jamb fixed weatherstripping. Replaced with newer deadbolt I alread had stored and never used.
Found new french front doors! $50! Can't beat that. I had to get it! Bought it, primed, sanded and painted it black on the interior and exterior. Old front doors removed. Had to add casing and center it since the old way wasn't. Changed the weatherstripping and threshold.
Way to go! I have glass entry doors as well, and love the light they let in. What I don't love is that anyone walking by can look in. I just found a product that you may want to check out. It was so easy to put up and looks like etched glass. It gives me the privacy I want and still lets the natural light in, but filters out the uv rays. It's called wallpaper for windows. I got a email with a discount code for 10% off. You can use it if you like #100758
Thanks. The popcorn ceiling was removed with water and a scraper. That simple. I heard it's tougher to scrape a painted ceiling though. I assume mine wasn't painted b/c it was a breeze scraping it though. The hard part is the patching, sanding, and cleaning the dust off and priming! Do-able, definitely, but not as easy as I thought. I was glad it was just a small area. I still have the rest of the house I'd like to do. Good idea to get the popcorn off before replacing the carpet! Check out the DoItYourself.com forums!
Great job. How did you remove the popcorn ceiling? I have a small condo as lease property and it has those. I hate them. They are impossible for me to paint - I have to hire someone to spray paint them. Next time it comes vacant, I need to replace the carpet, and I would LOVE to get rid of the popcorn ceilings before I do that.

I suppose it is not entirely new, but this morning was the first time that I actually saw this Louis Vuitton
commercial playing on TV while flipping through CNN’s Newsroom. You we can disagree over Vuitton’s luggage, I
am fairly certain though that you, too, will think that it’s a beautiful piece. Soothing, captivating, fantastic
mood and pictures. Best commercial I have seen in months.Bravo!
