Door knob makeover

Nothing says outdated like shiny brass door knobs.

I had them on every door in my house and desperately wanted a more modern look.  But have you ever priced door knobs?  Holy cow, those babies aren’t cheap.  I was shocked!  So I went in search of a more cost-effective way to update my knobs.  Enter: spray paint! Here’s how I did it.

BEFORE DOOR KNOBS

before DIY doorknob makeover

DIY DOOR KNOB  SUPPLIES:

  1. Spray paint in your desired color and a clear coat for the top.  I used Krylon Brushed Metal with Clear Poly:
     doorknob1
  2. 2. An old cardboard box to hold up the knobs during painting and drying doorknobs-on-box
  3. Screwdriver to remove/replace the knobs

DOOR KNOB DIY HOW TO:

  1. Remove the knobs from the door, including the plate that attaches to the door frame.
  2. Place knobs, screws, and plates in the cardboard box (you can use your screwdriver to punch holes) like so:
  3. Spray in large strokes, being sure to hit the underside of the knobs as well.  You’ll probably need at least two coats.  Allow to dry thoroughly between each coat (15-30 minutes on a sunny day).  When satisfied with the color coverage, spray all over with clear coat to seal.  Allow to dry thoroughly.
  4. Replace knob and plate and marvel at how great your knobs look.  Check it out.

Looks great!

We are super excited to have been able to update all of our door hardware for a fraction of the cost of new. This works on cabinetry knobs as well.

Every cleaning is the best cleaning!

Over the years, I have had more housekeeping services than I can count. They always started out good but after a few months, the service begins to suffer.
This has NOT happened with Amy‘s team at Neat Freaks. Every cleaning is the best cleaning. They pay attent…

Amy is fast, thorough, and professional – she does a fantastic job at keeping my house in shape.
~Carrie, Highlands Ranch, Colorado

It was wonderful to walk into a beautiful, clean house – that I did not have to do ! As a landlord, it was exceptionally nice to have a clean and polished home to show to potential renters. Thank you so much!!

I’ve worked with Amy and her team for over two years. They always do a thorough job and coming home to a clean house each week is amazing with two kids. I work in the real estate industry and often give out “move in/move out cleans” for my clients. They love it! * Highly Recommended *

We recently hired Neat Freaks for the 2nd time to handle our moveout cleaning.  This time was different, we were moving out of state and everything was crazy in the 11th hour.  Amy and her teams came in to clean the house from head to toe.  My realtor said they did a fantastic job, but I knew th…

Laurie in Parker CO

I want to let you know how thrilled I am that I have found you! In the past I have had services that were either unreliable, inconsistent or required me to do a better cleaning after they left. For this reason, I have been doing everything myself for about a year. Your team is friendly, reliable, tr…

“Thank you to Kris and Vicki who did a fabulous job yesterday on our house cleaning! Their attention to detail was impeccable and very much appreciated! I love it when even the toothpaste speckles have been wiped off the small things like our tissue holder. As always, we love coming home to a clean …

“Thank you so much, Neat Freaks, the job last Thursday was beyond amazing! I came home and it looked, smelled and felt wonderful! I fell really behind with the holidays, flu season and then a new job.

You guys are awesome!” Thank you!
