I’ve always dreamt of French doors, but the houses we buy always have sliding doors. They just lack beauty and character in my mind. I love things to be as beautiful as possible, so I made a spur of the moment purchase and called it a happy Mother’s Day to me! I bought some plantation shutters for sliding glass doors used from a lady not too far. They had higher ceilings, so these come almost up to the 8 feet that we have, but it makes the shutters that much more beautiful! I had put up trim molding before because there was nothing around the slider, so since I got the shutters, I knew I wanted the trim I added gone. I took that down, patched, painted, and prepped for the new shutters. I found the studs and added picked holes on the top molding piece of the shutters. I made sure it was level and screwed it up. Then I attached each side. Filled the holes and caulked and painted. Final step was screwing the door hinges back on and BAM! I was in LOVE!!! They are amazing and I can’t believe I got them for only $250!!!! Talk about a value add!!
