Cheryl Simpson on Dec 09, 2015You can use a washable paint, and she will enjoy helping and after you have a layer of that you can put photos and other things just with simple scotch tape..And for curtains you can apply them with a hot glue gun, it will be a little work to get the glue off later..but not too bad!!..You can also use window or wall clings sold st most dollar stores.Helpful Reply

Shana Vos on Dec 09, 2015what about using some painters tape and doing a design like a chevron pattern, or anything fun and just using regular craft paint. Paint will scrape off with a razor blade later down the road should you need to take it off for resale purposes.Helpful Reply

Cathy on Dec 09, 2015I would leave the mirror and find a lot of decals I would like and make a scenic type picture, jungle theme, old farm house and field, animals etc. Easy to remove when the time comes.Helpful Reply

GrandmasHouseDIY on Dec 09, 2015How about fabric? You could staple it to the direct top of the door and just let it hang, you would never see the staple holes and not do any permanent damageHelpful Reply

Kerensa Zieske on Dec 09, 2015I humbly suggest a roll of frosted style peel and stick vinyl. It can be cut in simple shapes and make the mirrors feel a bit less overwhelming in the room. 2 ideas off the top of my head. Cover the whole door and remove an oval from the middle, like a picture frame or make a grid of squares/rectangles with rounded corners. One could use any color, but it popped into my mind to use a "frosted" look.Helpful Reply

Pinkphotojen on Dec 09, 2015Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm going to run them past her. My guess is she'll try the hot glue on the curtains she bought to cover up the doors. That seems like the best solution, I'll post a photo when they're done!Helpful Reply

Sue Sanders on Dec 11, 2015Before using hot glue I'd call a glass company to see if the heat would cause damage to the mirrors. What about double side sticky tape as way to hold curtains.Helpful Reply

Lori on Dec 13, 2015What about adhearing the curtain material with mod podge? I've seen it done on here and looked great. When ready just pull off and wash the mirrors.Helpful Reply

Katherine on Dec 13, 2015Stencil it. An allover wall stencil in a Morrocan design, for instance? Then you could stencil one wall in the room with the same design, or maybe stencil the same wall making the closet doors flow in with the wall.Helpful Reply

Tam Sigman on Dec 13, 2015Two things spring to mind. 1) try fabric cover applied with laundry starch or 2) maybe put some sheer fabric over to still allow light reflection and givee impression of a window. ??Helpful Reply
