DIY: A Closet Door Upgrade!

March 22, 2023 by Renee Leave a Comment

Happy Spring, everyone! I’m coming at you today with a very fun, quick, easy, and impactful DIY!

These closet doors were very basic. I wanted to replace them… but replacing felt wasteful to me …. so I was thrilled to come up with an upgrade solution. I’ve had extra blind “slats” hanging around forever and decided to see if I could create box molding on the doors with the slats. Turns out they were the perfect thickness to allow the doors to still open.

Here are the doors BEFORE.
Figuring out a configuration with the “blind slats!”
I cut the slats to length, then glued them onto the doors with Wood Glue.
I caulked the edges, filled and sanded the joints… and they’re ready for paint!
I’m so happy with the interest and dimension the slats create on these basic sliding doors! I used SW Evergreen Fog and absolutely love how this space turned out. The trim on the doors elevates the doors’ very basic beginnings!!

I love a good DIY and this was certainly a favorite: fun, quick, economical and I LOVE the interest the box molding created! Stick around for more DIY’s!
