Closets, How Boring! Closet Doors, How Fun!

The topic is closets - boring, right!

  But since that is where so many of our belongings go, they're really kind of important and ours needed refreshing.  We are talking with a contractor for the big remodeling jobs, but in the mean time, painting the closets gives me a sense of accomplishment and helps us feel like we are inching (millimetering) toward completion.

Before

After. You're right, it's not the same closet , but I forgot to take a before of this closet so I had to use one from another bedroom.

 Now closets have doors and these closets have plain doors. Pinterest says add some molding and, sure enough, it can work wonders!

My carpenter and decorator came to spend the night this week and we did a little test run on this molding application which I plan on using on all the doors down the hall.

It helps when your workshop is in the dining room...

your table saw is on the front porch....

and your dad is your carpenter.

We cut molding to size and glued it on with liquid nails.

 We still had to use a few finishing nails to hold everything down well. Dad showed me how to sink the nail heads and then we Dapped over the holes.

Many coats of paint later,

and

voila!

Eventually, all the molding will be white,

eventually...

Love ya'll,

There's something real satisfying about working, and having gotten it done.
