Upgrading A Vintage Marketplace Find Into An Industrial Door For My Dining Room
I know, I know... I just can't stop redecorating my house!! It's probably the DIY-er in me but you can't blame me, I found the best upgrade for an old door in my house on Facebook Marketplace for such an amazing price and could NOT resist! It totally made over my dining room adding an industrial feel (a Pinterest DREAM)! Plus, the clear glass forces me to keep my closet nice and tidy which I love :)
The door in my dining room has always been on my list of things in my house I still need to fix. Originally my idea was to use similar doors to the ones I have in other areas of my house, but quickly realized that the cost would be way too much! So I took to second hand shopping online to find a door that could fit my space. When I stumbled across this vintage green glass door for such a great price, I knew it was meant to be.
I started by sanding down the door and painting it black to fit the room and polished up any metal hardware that was already existing on the door. It was obvious that the size of the door was wider than the one in my space, so I decided to find a sliding door mechanism to hang it up on. I took off the door framing and installed the door track (https://bit.ly/3tYeEL2) and hung it up!
I love that the door is see through because it forces me to really keep the interior of the closet organized! This little push was all I needed to clear it up and revisit some old memories and picture books! (this is your reminder to organize your closet lol)
I’m super happy with how the door turned out, I feel like it really brought an eye-catching element to the room and tied it all together, compared to the mirrored door that was there before! To watch the transformation happen, watch the video here:
