Behind Closed Doors

Up until last weekend Baby A's nursery closet did not have doors.  This was not a big problem because she has a well-organized and designed closet, however, I wanted it to have doors none-the-less.  What turned this easy breezy project into a two-day undertaking were our less than standard dimensions.  The design that I came up with for her closet required bi-fold doors.  They do come in multiple sizes but none that matched our exact measurements.

So how did we fix it?  By we, I of course mean Pop and Hubs tore out the existing trim and door frame in order to use the stock doors from Lowe's.  This was awesome because it saved us major $$ by not having to special order the doors.  Huzzah!  The only downer to a project like this is that the nursery turned into a disaster zone during construction.  To protect all of Baby A's teeny tiny cute clothes we had to clear them out of the line of destruction.  Creating the fabulous mess seen below.  Being 8.5 months pregnant at the time made me very nervous to have such chaos in the nursery.
 

 After the tear-out the boys placed in the new frame and shimmed around it.  Once they mounted the door tracks they finished off their portion of the project and tacked up new trim.

Next came my job - sanding and painting!  The trim and doors were pre-primed (which is rawesome) so all little L has to do is pull out her trusty paint brush and bang it out.  Brush it out?  Whatever, you know what I mean. 

Supplies - most important for this project was the cabinet/door roller

Roll, roll, roll your boat gently down the stream...

There you have it - new doors at last.  Now we only have to go through this process two more times on the master bedroom closets.  Bring it on bi-folds!
