“Goodbye to these doors and hello to the new slab white door.”
— Mike Martins

Hey YouTubers, Mike Martins here with another update from the Living the Dream series.
Today we’re back inside the house working on another one of those smaller renovations that can completely change the feel of a room. I’ve got these old imitation-wood/particle-board doors in the office, and I’ve decided they have to go!
The plan is simple: replace the older wood-look doors with clean white slab doors to brighten up the room and give the house a more modern look.
Of course, nothing involving home renovations ever goes perfectly. We measured the opening, went down to Home Hardware, and somehow ended up coming back with the wrong size! This is exactly why I keep saying: bring the tape measure with you!
Mike is here helping out, my son is running around, my clocks are falling off the wall, and somewhere in the middle of all this we're also talking about starting a flight club for the RC planes. Just another normal day around here!
This is what the Living the Dream series is really about. I bought this house because I wanted something I could actually own, work on and slowly improve myself. It doesn't mean everything has to be renovated overnight. One project at a time, one room at a time, and eventually you start turning the place into exactly what you want.
So goodbye to the old particle-board doors and hello to the new white slab doors!
What do you guys think? Is this an improvement, or would you have kept the original wood-look doors?
