DIY! Bifolding closet door turned modern barn door!


I turned this old by folding closet door into a more modern barn door style! I’m trying really hard to be one of those badass DIY gals. I tackled our laundry room makeover last year, hung a few floating shelves in the bathroom and now this! Baby steps!

I bought extra wood to add some length and height. First time using a skill saw.. pretty easy. Next I added some 2 1/2 by 1/2 inch framing, filled in the cracks with wood filler and onto paint!

The color I went with is called Buckland Blue from Home Hardware and it turned out beautiful!

I painted an extra piece to match the wall color to add some depth. The hardware I ordered on Wayfair for $94.

There were a couple challenges along the way but this was a learn as you go type of project!

I just love how it turned out!
