I don’t think I’m confident enough to take on a project like this ... you have to be good at measuring! I’ve only just mastered using an electric drill .. and put up a curtain pole! Took me 3 hours!! Well done, the doors are amazing - I’m inspired! 👍🏼🤗
Thank you! And you will definitely improve as you do more projects. I wouldn't have had the confidence to try this a few years ago either but I've slowly built my skills and my confidence!
I love this!!! Really, good job girl, I can’t believe you did it by yourself. You gave confidence to start my own project alone, my husband is the clumsiest man ever rsrs I love him, but I’m doing this all by myself like you did it! Whoa😳
I'm late to the game since I see you did this 3 years ago. You did an amazing job. Wow! I can't stand my sliding doors that are almost exactly the same. I have one question for now. If I'm not going to cover my doors with a wood design, how do I cover or fill in the two round areas that I have to open the doors with? I can't stand these doors the way they are. They are always coming off the track. Such a pain. I'm grateful to know that I can change them without buying new folding doors! That is what I thought I was stuck with before I saw your video. They come off the track too! Doors like yours don't. YaY!
I have been trying to reinstall closet tracks for years after new floors installed but I’m so happy I came across this. Definitely going to a different route. Thank you. Amazing idea 😊
I like your videos. They are something most people can relate to. No shade to anyone but those people with mansions and a weird notion of " on budget" are nice to look at but as relatable as "Architecture Digest". The instructions are clear and while I wish you plenty of sponsorship opportunities, I like that you're not constantly trying to sell us something. I look forward to your next videos. BTW...if I may suggest ...if you could just slow down just a tiny bit when you talk because while English-speaking people understand you fine , the people whose primary language isn't English may have to" pause and rewind " a few time not to miss a thing. Thanks and good luck
Great video!!! I have the same sliding doors in the home I rent. I was looking at ways to decorate them to make them look nicer, and found your video. If I owned the home I would be immediately running to a hardware store to do this project, it turned out amazing and I really wish I could see my whole closet at once :/
I'm in a rental too! I'm planning on doing this to my main coat closet as the doors are driving me nuts, and my partner and I always find ourselves getting them to come off the track somehow while opening and closing (super old doors, old building, etc.). I'm going to ask my landlord for permission first, but I don't see why he'd say no, as this will be a huge improvement to the unit!
I built this over the weekend. Building this would be very painful if you don’t have a table saw. Being able to set the fence to 4 inches and just rip everything to the correct width makes everything move quickly. Also underpayment is a great way to go on this project, be careful letting the big box stores the sheeting into smaller sections for you, they generally do a poor job and you’ll have rough edges to fix. Overall awesome project and I love the look of my new closet doors. Keep posting the great projects!
Thanks for sharing that you built it! I always love to hear that. And yes, it's really convenient having the store cut down the underlayment but I have found they often aren't as careful as I would like with the measurements.
Loving this awesome Idea. I have old ugly bypass doors that are in desperate need of updating. I will definitely be trying your cost-effective method that has an expensive look. Thanks for sharing
I want to try this, i have 2 closets in my bedroom with sliding doors. I'm scared I'll trim too much off the door or that it wont be straight. I love how yours turned out
This is exactly what I was hoping to find…I have 4 bedrooms full of these ridiculous doors. One question, I’m assuming you cut the edge off of the door which would face towards the wall itself and not in center. Did you experience any issues doing this? Any splintering or hollow edges?
You want to use very thin wood planks for a project like this; 1/4″ plywood is perfect. Here is the written post with supply list: www.lovelyetc.com/closet-door-makeover/
how did you change the knobs on the door? I have the same sliding doors and there is that little circle to pull them back and forth as the knob. How did you change the handle?
Yes, they were! I don't know for sure how much you can trim because all doors may be slightly different. For my doors, I cut 3/16" from one side of each door and it worked perfectly. There should be at least 1/2" (8/16") of solid material on the edge of each door but I would keep my cuts well below that just to be safe.
Hi there .. just want to let you know I’ve given your channel a shout out on my recent upload called Having a go at Stencilling... Teresa’s World, thanks for your helpful tips in your stencil video ... reallly found it helpful 🤗x
@@LovelyEtc I just cut them to size but they are hollow on the sides so I don't know how pit hinges now since there is no place to screw them in? I guess I can use other side of door for hinges but how would I cover the hole on the side where I trimmed the door?

Can I hire you to do this for me?? I love this!
Thank you! I can't do it for you but I bet you can do it!
I love this!!! Really, good job girl, I can’t believe you did it by yourself.
You gave confidence to start my own project alone, my husband is the clumsiest man ever rsrs I love him, but I’m doing this all by myself like you did it! Whoa😳
Lovely! You could even hang a full-length mirror on the inside of one of the doors! The miters are perfect.
Great idea!!
you did such a great job. I HATE my bypass doors and I have 3 closets with them.

You just gave me the solution I needed for my closet, Thank You!
Glad I could help! 😀
You did a fantastic job - getting those cuts right for the herringbone ... you're my hero!!! They look gorgeous.
Thank you so much!
omg this is JUST what I need!!! My sliding doors are driving me crazy!!
Yes, mine were too. This has made such a huge difference for us!

Thanks so much!
Your final product is so cute!! I so wish I didn't need the space the sliders give.
Thank you! I know for some rooms, sliders really are the only good solution, but I was so happy we could do something different!
Beautiful job!! I hate our sliding doors
Thank you!
I have to make custom french style doors for my mom's custom size closet. Nothing about it is standard size. This video gave me ideas.
I'm so glad!
Wow, that was beautifully done. I would love to do that on my closet.
You can do it!
Excellent job!!! Looks gorgeous
Thank you! 😊
Right on time!! Thank you so much. I needed this.
I'm so glad it helped!

Yay, so glad I could help!
Absolutely brilliant!!
Thank you!
did you had wood on the sides to hang the door, mine has drywall
The video I was looking for. Thank you so much
I'm so glad it helps!
Great diy, I agree, I hate sliding doors too , can we do the same to mirrored sliding doors
I'm glad you like it. Yes it would be great with mirrored doors also!
I want to try this, i have 2 closets in my bedroom with sliding doors. I'm scared I'll trim too much off the door or that it wont be straight. I love how yours turned out
Thank you! Just take your time and measure correctly. You got this!
The doors look lovely 🤩 Great job!!!
Thank you!! 😊
This is exactly how I envision doing my odd linen closet door in the hallway.
Doing this today…subscribed!
Yay!
Beautiful doors
Thank you! 😊
Yaaaaaas!Super cute! I'll be doing this!
Thank you!
You’re adorable!
I feel the exact same way about the sliding door too! Trying to get the stuff in the middle straining my arm through is annoying.
This is exactly what I was hoping to find…I have 4 bedrooms full of these ridiculous doors. One question, I’m assuming you cut the edge off of the door which would face towards the wall itself and not in center. Did you experience any issues doing this? Any splintering or hollow edges?
I haven't had any issues at all. I'm really pleased with how it has held up. Good luck!
Wow! Great job!
Thank you!
I really like your channel.
This is perfect. What type of boards did you use?

Thank you!
what a great idea and great job !
Thank you! 😊
Great work! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Great job 👏🏿👍🏿👌🏿 !!! But you didn't mention the new door handles you put on.
Whoops! They are from Amazon and were really easy to install. These are the ones I used - amzn.to/2VSMV27
Thank you cheap mama :-)
Amazing job!!!
Thank you!!
Great work!
Thank you!
how did you change the knobs on the door? I have the same sliding doors and there is that little circle to pull them back and forth as the knob. How did you change the handle?
You killed it. I hate how my closet doors look
Thank you!
Very impressive!
Thank you!
Great, love
Good job!
Thanks!
Beautiful sis
Thank you!
This was perfect!
Thank you!
You are awesome!
Thank you!
You’re such a baddie ❤
Well…thank you!
Im a dude
And im impressed
great video!
Thanks!
I so want to do this to my closet. But my closet has mirror sliding doors. I can't trim them to fit. :(
That's too bad! If you have a Habitat for Humanity Restore in your area, they often have cheap flat panel doors. It might be worth a look!
Were these hollow core doors? If yes, how much can you trim without compromising the door? Thanks
Yes, they were! I don't know for sure how much you can trim because all doors may be slightly different. For my doors, I cut 3/16" from one side of each door and it worked perfectly. There should be at least 1/2" (8/16") of solid material on the edge of each door but I would keep my cuts well below that just to be safe.
@@LovelyEtc Oh, wow! I thought they must be solid for sure. That's great to know!
Hi there .. just want to let you know I’ve given your channel a shout out on my recent upload called Having a go at Stencilling... Teresa’s World, thanks for your helpful tips in your stencil video ... reallly found it helpful 🤗x
So I can reused my two sliding doors and make them into two full open doors like yours? What did u used to cut them straight?
Yes, you should be able to. I cut them to size using a circular saw.
@@LovelyEtc I just cut them to size but they are hollow on the sides so I don't know how pit hinges now since there is no place to screw them in? I guess I can use other side of door for hinges but how would I cover the hole on the side where I trimmed the door?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊
What material are your closet doors?
They were hollow core doors.
What size did you cut them down to?
I cut 3/16" from one side of each door.
I have a smaller closet than this with sliding doors and its a nightmare!
Let me know if you try any of these. It is so difficult when you have limited closet space.
That’s a closet for two people? I couldn’t fit half of my own clothes in there
It can be switched out with seasonal clothes and we also use dressers. Thanks for watching!
Ok but they're like that in case you don't have the space to open them all the way...
Sound quality really bad. It is too bad because you had valuable info to share
Yikes, sorry. I'm working on the sound quality - it's a lot harder to get right than you might think!
Great job but i think you may be a carpenter..
haha, thank you! I guess I could call myself that now!
Great job!! 👍🏽
Thank you!
