Today’s DIY Feature
How about a fabulous DIY project to get you in the mood for this party?
Do you dislike bifold doors as much as I do? And wish you had pretty heritage doors on your closets instead ? Well, I have a big treat for you!
Over at Vintage Simple, Maria created these fabulous french style doors FROM her bifolds! You will love this idea.
Before and After.
First, the bifold doors were taken apart to create two panels. Beadboard was cut to size and attached with glue and nails over the louvered parts.
Trim was then added to the outer edges.
Next, they were rehung like french doors. Then primed and painted.
Beautiful glass knobs were later added to give the doors a real vintage vibe. The colour used was a soft cornflower type blue leftover from another room.
Tell me this doesn’t want you running over to every bifold you have now to revamp! Maria, this idea rocks! Full post HERE.
How about you?
Got a cool door project from your own home to share? Feel free to also link that up to the rest of the SNS party fun or just comment about it!
Blah blah rules for the SNS linkup:
1. Please link up your intended post, NOT your main blog. (post, then click on title of your post, cut and paste that url)
2. Please put a link in your post that leads back to the party so others can see what’s up! (scroll button on sidebar if you wish)
3. I’ve allowed 75 characters in the link title area, so go ahead and tell us your blog name AND project description. There’s room. 🙂
*4. This party is geared for *DIY type projects we can all attempt to make ourselves. Items for sale may be linked up IF your entry is posted on your blog and in tutorial style (unless making the item is self explanatory).
Have a great time out there in DIY partyland! AND…
Happy Valentines Day, Funky Junk style. 🙂

Darn it all – I just gave away a set! Oh well – another excuse to go to more estate sales 🙂
Now I wish I had some bifold doors. That is amazing.
Hate bifolds- Love the makeover!
Thanks for hosting the party!
I love her door makeover! You know me Donna, I love turning doors into many cool things! Too many posts to go through and add! This week I added my bathroom makeover we did last spring. Not up to many projects right now, gotta let the knee heal! Happy SNS!! 🙂
I wanted to link up but didn’t do anything grand this week. Then I remembered that I made some pretty stinkin’ cute valentines. Thanks for hosting the party!
Sorry guys, my link just refuses to work tonight! See you at Cindy’s on Monday…I hope! Chick N Charge

I’m drooling!
I just love the idea of making the closet doors into a french style, vintage looking pair of doors. So much better! I have an awkward linen closet without a door on it in my bathroom. I think a single door of this style would be perfect. Great inspiration!
What a great project! They look perfect! Thanks for hosting! Lisa
Thnaks for featuring our project here, Donna! I really appreciate it!
Happy Valentine’s Day,

Hey Donna,
Sorry…I so totally didn’t read the instructions for the linkup. It’s not a tutorial so you can just delete it. Sorry! I also wanted to say, I completely love your blog!
Jenn 🙂
Love your door idea!!! WOW…my daughter has those dreadful – non-working doors – Now I have a new plan – thank you!!!!
I tried clicking on view full post here but it won’t allow me to see the post. I would love to see how this was done with more detail instructions. ?. Thanks
I love these! What color did you paint the doors?
Hi Tabitha! That was a project I featured long ago, however sadly, I don’t seem to have access to the original link in the post. I guess the author changed the viewing permissions. Sorry I can’t help with your question.
