All it took was some wood, paint, and a little bit of time to truly upgrade these doors.

I started with a plain wood bi-fold door and I painted it a bright white. I then added some inexpensive wood trim in a contemporary pattern.

With the wood up, it was time to prime and paint!

Here's how they look now with their sleek black handles. We are obsessed and can't get over how this simple DIY project completely changed this space.
