talking about caulk (DIY make your door pretty)

All of the doors in our house are old and that amazingly couldn't-get-any-cheaper 70's plywood. If I really wanted to I could put my fist through every single door in this house. They are basically hollow. If I was an angrier human I just might, because I can't stand looking at them.

To punch or to decorate.......... decorate. Obvi. Inspired by Jenny's yellow door.

Started with this:

Get your caulk on with Phenoseal. It's the bomb. Investing in a dip cap keeps your fingers anti-nasty. DSC05149 

I had some guy at home depot help me cut the moulding. DSC05142 

and I just measured/drew all over the door until it was relatively even. DSC05143

if the corners don't match up perfectly, just push some caulk in it. DSC05154

fun! took a couple hours. Don't know that I would do it all over again cause it was sort of messy with all the caulk everywhere. mwahaha
