That looks great! I love the wall mural too😊
One suggestion to make the room feel bigger: It looks like the closet is on the far wall...I would take the closet out and put it on the wall opposite the door, to the right of the window. If you don’t need a large closet in that room, make it as small as you can. Then put the head of the bed on the other end of the room. This will allow more room when walking through the door, as well as allowing you to put the bed in the middle of the wall so small nightstands can be placed on either side. You can then put your dresser on the wall where the head of the bed is now.
I hope that makes sense. We had a narrow bedroom with the closet in the end and moving the closet helped so much.

Thanks for the great idea! Part of our trouble is that the room is not even eight feet wide so everything becomes quite tricky in there. I will keep that in mind, thank you! Glad it worked so well for you!

I love the new door! The feng shui could use some help, turn the bed so the head is near the window and free up the sides for guests. Place a mirror on the wall directly across from the door.😄

Thanks! The poor room is so unbelievably narrow, it's difficult to do anything in there. Thanks for the tips, I'll take a look!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
On your blog you say the top is 1/4 off the wall in the track, that’s why you took off the casing. So how does it ride over the baseboard at the bottom which is protruding out another 3/4 of an inch?
Why couldn't you use the original bedroom door and put it in the track?
