I don't know what its composition is, but it feels cheap and nasty. It has turned fluffy at the bottom from moisture, and the actual door itself is a strange sort-of rough texture. I would love to be able to smooth it all over with something and paint it. One step further, I'd really love to be able to make vertical lines down it to resemble the third photo I've attached - what tool(s) would I use for that. Can some clever person(s) advise me on how to get started? Thank you so much!

So we are slowly working to tidy/renovate our house. We are not aiming for white/ultra modern but trying to retain some of the original features (like the dark beams). I have visons for much of the house but still not clear on what do to with these doors. I like the idea of doors opening to the room from the entrance but as you can see, with the sofas it's a pain and restricts the space - with a gap behind one door and the other just hanging open. I can close one to the wall behind the sofa but when little folk go to bed we tend to close it to keep noise down. So I thought about folding but not sure they are OK or not. We could do sliding but we already have glass sliding doors on the other side so it might look odd? Thoughts? The other thing is we dont have as many door options in New Zealand and we.dont have a huge budget. Any thoughts? Thanks

We are wanting to build a second toilet where the old laundry use to be

That is expensive! Didn't know it could amount to such. Maybe you can buy them and have it done separately. Packaged services are sometimes way unfair. Hamilton, www.carpetcleaninghamiltonnz.info/
