Bi-Fold Closet Door Update
My sister’s future nursery had these boring outdated bi-fold closet doors and I knew that I could give it an inexpensive update! With some PVC trim, liquid nails, caulk, and paint, they look so different!

I picked up some cheap and simple PVC trim and pre-cut it all at my house. You could easily cut this type of plastic trim with scissors or miter shears. I did make sure to cut the ends at a 45 degree angle for nice corners.
Back at my sister’s I used liquid nails to attach them, creating these nice decorative trim boxes. I could have used a nail gun but this kind of trim can dent or break easily.
It looked so much better already just with trim! Next, I caulked all the seams inside and outside the boxes. You could do this to any boring interior door!
Next, paint! My sister wanted a rainbow themed nursery for her “rainbow baby” so it seemed only fitting to have rainbow doors!
Finally, I added some updated knobs and they were done! Such an easy transformation for a baby’s room!

Don’t care who did what. But this is great idea. Very hard to make icky, sometimes necessary bi fold doors not look cheap and tacky. Great upgrade. Thanks for sharing
