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My sister’s future nursery had these boring outdated bi-fold closet doors and I knew that I could give it an inexpensive update!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!

Before
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!

What a wonderful job & very affordable!! I love the colors (I like rainbows & pastels, so win-win!)!! Just adding the trim & new knobs was a big improvement, but the colors make it. I also wasn't familiar with rainbow baby -- what a lovely name for these special babies. Thank you for sharing & a belated congratulations!!
