Step 1: Remove the backing of the doors to take out the screen. (You
may have to remove nails and staples.) For a smooth finish, sand the
door frames with a fine-grade sandpaper, and then apply primer to the
entire surface.
Step 2: Attach wallpaper to the hardboard
paneling using wallpaper adhesive. Once the adhesive dries, rub the
wallpaper with a fine-grade sandpaper to create a worn appearance.
Step 3: Paint the door and trim. Once dry, sand the trim for an
antique look.
Step 4: Attach hardboard paneling to the back of
the door using 3/4-inch finishing nails.
Step 5: For an aged
appearance, cover the doors and the wallpaper with an antiquing glaze.
(Tip: Add water to lighten the color of the glaze.)
Step 6: To seal the entire piece, apply one thin coat of clear polyurethane, and
let dry completely. Hinge the three doors together.
