Rental Approved DIY
While redecorating my girls room, I had a big Ah-ha moment. I have repeatedly stated that I am unable to paint the walls in my rental, but I really really needed to make a statement in my girls room. So I decided to upcycle/DIY (whatever you want to call it) the closet shutter doors in my girls room.

Step 1
Steps:

-Measure and cut hardboard to size (Home Improvement stores will cut boards for free, if you provide them with measurements)
-Remove door knobs, if needed
-Place hardboard over shutter door and make sure all edges are aligned accordingly.
-Use nail gun and attach hardboard to face of shutter door
OR use a drill with a small drill bit to drill small holes into hardboard and shutter door. Then, hammer in the finish nails.
-Prime and Paint
Step 2
-I drew faux molding free handedly with a pencil and used an eraser to erase the extra pencil markings.
-After free handing the molding, I went over it with paint using a regular ol' artist paint brush...you know the thin ones with an angle brush that artist use to paint on canvas...yeah, that one.
Step 3
Add your hardware and voila...
