I was looking for ways to make cool "cottage-y" looking doors and I found this: http://dorothyainsworth.com/batten/doors.html

It's already beautiful! It really is something truly special, even more so for all of your sweat and blood, and it will become more so the more you work on it.

One question: Are you guys going to plaster it yourselves or hire it out? From everything I've read, plastering scares me.
