Closet Doors -- Before & After

Sometime during the 1970s, someone thought it would be a good idea to "finish" the basement of our 1940s house. So they put in dark built-in closets, dark brown carpet, and dark paneling on the walls. Lovely.


We took out the carpet and paneling, framed in a wall and dry walled, and installed carpet for the boys' new room. We decided to keep the closets because they were in a good spot and they were a great size. So I sanded them and finally painted them a few weeks ago. They're only about 10x better!

We still need to cut a bit off the middle doors-- we had to replace those but they weren't cut small enough. White makes that basement room so much brighter!
