How to Strip Paint from an Antique Wood Door

Stephen and I bought a home last year that was built in the 1870s. We are absolutely in love with this property. It is full of amazing old features like 5 antique entrance doors. Yes you read correctly, 5! This is not a large house but certainly has some rich history to explain the need for so many doors in such a small house.

The problem with these doors is they do not provide a good barrier against the elements, which we quickly noticed during our first winter here. So unfortunately we have had to replace all the exterior doors in order to make our home more efficient and more environmentally friendly.

However, there is no way we are parting with these amazing doors. We are repurposing the doors inside our home in a new renovation where we are converting an empty space into 2 closets and a laundry room. In this video you will learn how we safely stripped years of paint off of these doors to get them ready for their fresh coat of paint.

We will be posting renovation videos as we complete projects in our home to modernize the building while respecting and protecting its history.
