Keep reading to learn how to turn your ordinary dresser into a unique piece of furniture — with just a barn door!
Materials Needed
The first step is to gather the materials you’ll need. To get started, you will need:
• A barn door – You can find these online or at most home improvement stores. Look for one that matches the style and color of your existing furniture. ( With this door, you can cut to size)
• Hardware – This will depend on the size and weight of the door, so make sure you measure carefully before purchasing hardware. Most hardware kits come with all the necessary screws and brackets.
• Tools – For this project, you will need a power drill or screwdriver, as well as basic tools such as a hammer and level. You may also want to pick up some wood glue if needed.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Once you’ve gathered all the materials, it’s time to start transforming your furniture! Follow these steps for adding the barn door:
- Measure the width of your existing dresser drawers and mark these measurements on the back of the barn door. This will help ensure that your new door fits perfectly on top of the drawers.
- Install any necessary hardware onto both sides of the door frame so that it is secure when hung from its hinges on top of the drawers. Make sure to leave enough room for clearance when opening and closing the door.
3. Mark where each hinge should be screwed into place at each side of the frame using a level as reference point for accuracy. Drill pilot holes in each spot before inserting screws into place with your drill or screwdriver (depending on what type of screw was provided).
4. Carefully hang your new barn door onto its hinges at each side of the frame above your existing drawers – making sure not to pinch any fingers while doing so! Finally, use wood glue around any areas that may need extra support such as corners or edges that are not secured by screws or bolts (optional).
5. All done! Admire your finished product! Now sit back and enjoy how much more stylish and unique this piece stands out compared to others in its category–all thanks to one easy-to-install barn door!
