A couple of years ago, I gave my youngest daughter's room a complete makeover (if you missed it, you can check out the full "before" and "after" room transformation by clicking {here}!) and part of that makeover included her closet doors. I always try to first work with what I have instead of pitching it and buying something new so when I wanted to change the look of her doors, I decided to DIY instead of buy! She has a double door closet with doors that were flat and had small little cabinet knobs for handles:






My fix? Create a stylish raised pattern on the doors using this inexpensive molding:







It was a DIY project that took some time to do but didn't require a ton of skill - no power tools needed! I started by figuring out a design pattern for the doors and then with a simple saw and miter box, I cut pieces of the molding to size and taped them in place with painter's tape:







Once all of the molding was in place and leveled, I used glue and nails to adhere the molding pieces to the door:







Then the tape came off, I painted both doors, added new pulls and ended up with doors that have a stylish new look:

    Is it wrong that I didn't recognize your name, and had no idea who you were until the last picture, where I recognized the bedspread and remember the bed skirt tutorial?
