Before we went to the next step we made sure they our hardware was lined up, measurements looked good and the doors fit well...once the mirrors are added they become VERY heavy, easier to double check yourself at this stage....and things were looking good!!
Oh my! Don’t you LOVE Chris’ bedroom? The closet door makeover is just the icing on the cake! Be sure to check out Chris’ blog and her other fabulous links!

How do the doors stay closed? Really nice idea as I have bifold slotted closet doors that need replacing.

Lori,
I have small doorstops at the top of the closet frame with magnet catches. Hope that answers your question.

Did you just buy two slab doors? Also, how did the doors latch? I don't see a kit or directions for that. Did you have to take off the original trim before switching out the doors? Thank you!! Looking to do this in our mancave with our shoe and coat closets that are right next to each other, originally there were all bi-fold doors.

Colleen,
This isn't my project. But looking at the post, I see she bought four doors. It sounds like your project is a lot like Chris' room. I don't think she used any latches.

hey there! just saw these over on pinterest and had to pin them too! quick question: what kind of trim did you use to cover the edges of the mirrors? quarter round? and did you overlap onto the mirror or just butt up against it? this is a FANTASTIC idea that i LOVE and plan to use! thanks!

BIG TIP**āyou will be covering the mirror edges with trim so you will not need the sides beveledā¦

Loved that project at TLC, and love it here too. The room looks so cozy and cottagey.

WOW! The room looks gorgeous now, everything in the room is just heavenly. Who would have thought that such a look could be achieved with mirrors! Great job. Our bedroom is next on my list too. Still need to finish up our bath though before we dive into yet another project.

Gorgeous...I had to double back and see that your first replaced the bifold doors...then you did the mirrors. Love the way you changed out those doors...think I'll try to talk my husband into letting use do the same in my daughter's room. Great transformation...you should be proud!

They look beautiful! I especially like the dark hardware.
