If you are going for an old farmhouse look or an antique, you can achieve the look easily with a little elbow grease.
How to Make Fabulous Farmhouse Doors Using Dollar Tree Picture Frames
First you’ll want to buy your supplies and prepare the workspace. Since antiquing a door while it’s attached to the wall will be difficult, you will need to remove the doors and the hinges. You will need a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to loosen the pin especially on some of the older doors. It is recommended that you have 2 people to do this. While keeping the door stable, angle the screwdriver against the pin so you can tap the pin out with the hammer.
Once you have the doors off the hinge, remove all the hardware. If you are working on multiple doors, take note which hardware belongs to which door and where the door was located. This is very important for when you rehang your doors, otherwise they will not close properly.
Lay the door over a large work table or tarp outside in a well-ventilated area. Make sure it is in a space where you can paint them and have them dry without being in the way, since you won’t be able to move them easily as they cure. Cover the area with a drop cloth to catch spills.
Add chips or scratches the wood (optional). If you have a wooden door and are aiming for a rustic, weathered look, you can intentionally damage the wood surface by scratching grooves, adding dents or hammering holes into the door. If your doors have a preexisting coating on them, give your doors a light sanding.
