What do you think of this DIY bifold door transformation?! ✨ I love the way they came out, especially for the little amount of money I was able to do it for.
And yes - you can see through the closet doors. Not ideal - but it’s not like the ReStore had options for caning! 🤷🏼‍♀️ I still can’t believe I was even able to find any, let alone for $7.
Anyways... here’s how I did it! 👇🏼👇🏼
+ Removed doors and scuff sanded with 120 grit
+ Used a circular saw (can even use a jig saw or hand saw) to cut the slats of the bifold door in half
+ Manually removed all of the slats which was actually really easy + fast! This left me with just a frame for doors.
+ Painted using Sherwin Williams in Urban Bronze - left over paint from my slat wall project!
+ I found solid wood trim at the ReStore for $1 per 8 foot piece. I cut the trim to size using my miter saw
+ I applied wood glue onto the back of the wood trim and placed it inside of the frames to hide the holes where the slats were. You can also use a brad nailer to reinforce! I was going to just put in wood filler, but I quickly realized how much wood filler that would require and the cost of it... so that option was a no from me!
+ Cut the cane to size, then soaked in warm bath water for a few hours. This allowed the cane to be more pliable & easier to work with. I was lucky to find a massive roll of this open box cane about 4ish months ago at my local ReStore for $7! A find of a lifetime. If you can’t find a deal like this and don’t want to shell out the $$ for regular cane, you can use fabric!
+ I used an upholstery stapler (you can also use a crown stapler) to attach the cane to the backs of the doors & cut off any excess
+ I then flipped the doors back over, painted the trim in Urban Bronze, then painted the cane in Ash by Fusion Mineral Paint to add subtle contrast
+ Replaced the door knobs with something a bit more modern
+ The hardest part of this project was honestly putting the doors back on the hinges and getting them to open/close correctly! 😂
Let me know what you think! Would you try this on your bifold doors?!?! 🥳✨🥰
