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.

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
-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.
Add your hardware and voila...
