The surface bolt was about five bucks, and we added it so that wild & crazy little ones don’t accidentally fling open Momma’s closet door and bust that chain right off.Īnd look! I can still access all the clothes I never wear with ease- ha!Īnd everybody steers clear of each other on the flip side… We used a small length of the chain in between them to prevent the door from swinging open too wide… I spray painted the screw eyes (giggle) with some oil-rubbed bronze spray I had, and we attached one to the door frame, and one to the door.

Sounds like somebody from Scooby Doo or something. The chain was 50 cents, and the “screw eyes” were a buck or two. The next step was to make sure the door on the far right didn’t ever accidentally bump into my bedside table, so we picked up a variety of supplies at Home Depot… (Not regular Liquid Nails!) After that, we fixed up our miter cuts with white shrink-resistant/crack-resistant silicone (Walmart) and gave ’em all a quick coat of touch up paint. Then we glued all the pieces to each door with Liquid Nails specifically engineered for attaching mirrors. We painted all the molding first, then mitered all the corners. We already blogged about how we attached the mirrors to each door, but here’s a close up of the edge of the mirror we needed to cover up with trim…Īnd here’s a photo of the trim we ended up choosing… (Home Depot) …but I thought they’d make nice-looking door pulls, so on they went! I think they were around two bucks a piece. We found them on the hinge/window hardware aisle at Home Depot. …and replaced them with new, oil-rubbed bronze utility pulls… Then we took off the old, scuffed up door knobs… We bought four 3-packs for around $8 a piece at Home Depot… …and added some new, oil-rubbed bronze hinges to each one instead… We just removed the doors, and their old, painted-on hinges… Once a project idea pops in the ol’ noggin I gotta git-after-it! There really wasn’t anything wrong with them before…

Well, we’re f iiiiinally done re-doing our master bedroom closet doors, and I’m happy to report we’re pretty stoked about how they all turned out.
