Painted Closet Doors in My Bedroom

I finally got my closet doors painted and up in my bedroom. It looks so much better and I couldn't wait to share some pictures. The doors were brown and made the room look darker. I decided to paint them white. Here is a photo of the closet when we moved in....

The closet with all of our stuff just crammed in. It wasn't organized and had lots of wasted space!
Below is a photo of it after. I put a Billy Bookcase from IKEA in the middle of our closet to divide "his" and "hers" sides.
We bought a ClosetMaid system from Home Depot so that everything is adjustable.

The closet is still a work in progress and is messy because we are packing for our vacation that we are going on soon.
Cody has no clothes. He won't ever let me buy him any either!
There is brown contact paper that is glued down on the floor of the closet.
We had trouble getting it off. I guess it's a project for another day!

I used Bulls Eye Primer to paint the closet doors, 2 coats. Then 3 coats of white semi-gloss paint.

Once the doors were painted, it was time to put them back up! (Happy Dance!!)

    1. Well I am glad you don't think it looks messy. I thought I should wait to post photos until I cleaned it up, but decided I was too excited to wait. :)

    1. Yes, it is unique. I love the drawers underneath as well. Lots of good storage. I guess it was a 1950's thing.

  4. Hi Jessie! Your bedroom looks fantastic! What a difference. Makes me want to paint my entire place pink with white doors! I love your Dr. Suess painting and your black and white flower print pillow. You have a great eye for detail.

    1. The phrase is a Dr. Seuss quote from The Lorax! :) I loved painting it.

    1. It wasn't too bad. I am glad that I can just roll the paint on with a roller. That makes the painting part easy. Cody had the hard job of trying to get the closet doors back on the track! :( BUT, the results are way worth it.
