Start by cutting the grilles down to size. This is how I got two crosses from each grille.
#Garage window grids how to
For $8, some paint and glue I was able to transform my garage doors from boring bland to cottage charm!Īnd here is the tutorial for how to add grilles to plain jane garage door windows! I carefully measured the panes on the garage then found a set of four grilles that would give me two cross pieces per window! Perfect! And the best part about those grilles is that they only cost $2 a piece. That was when the “A-ha” moment happened and I figured that I could use them to dress up my garage doors. You know, the cheap ones that are pressed up against the window and always fall out. I wasn’t exactly sure how I was going to add the grilles (cross pieces in the windows.) I thought about cutting up paint sticks or just plain strips of square dowels cut to fit, but I REALLY wanted them to look as real as possible and I liked the router profile of the real deal.Ī few months later I literally almost tripped on a stack of donated window grilles at my local Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
I fell in love immediately and the hulking gray doors’ fate had been sealed. I even created a paint preview to see what it would look like. In this mulling over period I dreamt of painting the garage doors and boosting the character factor by adding grilles to the windows.
I always thought they could be a little more polished and more inviting. They are the two giant doormen that greet me at least five times a day as I run errands and taxi my children to and from school. You know that thing about your house that you really want to change, but it takes you a while to mull over how to change it? Well, that thing for me was our garage doors.
