Glaze luaun doors?

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Trying to figure out what to do with the luaun doors in my 80s house. Some are in great condition, while others are ... I'll be honest, completely trashed. I may just use a Pinterest idea and place corking and trim on the damaged surfaces, turning the surfaces into bulletin boards that my family can utilize/decorate. However, i honestly can't stand the medium, orangy-brown color of them all. I'm curious whether it's possible to apply a light glaze to them to soften/adjust the color to more of a cooler tone but still allow the pattern of the grain to show through. I have 5 kids. I understand how forgiving wood grains are vs. solid colors, as well as medium vs. light/dark, but I would really appreciate a minor color change if at all possible. Suggestions on how to do this successfully? Not sure that anything would stick without your everyday primer, but I'm not much of a DIYer, so maybe there are supplies or techniques I'm unaware of.... Thanks!
