Mirrored Closet Doors

When we moved into our new house, our teenage daughter finally got her wish: her own room, complete with a walk-in closet for her sizeable wardrobe. There was just one problem. The previous owners had removed and discarded the doors, as they had been using the large closet as a nursery. We looked into sliding mirror closet doors, but when a friend was giving away a perfectly-sized set of doors, we decided that the best solution would be to fit those with custom cut mirrors.

We consulted with a glass and mirror expert, who told us that he could custom cut the mirror, but that we would have to get the door panels sanded down. Luckily my husband was able to take care of that himself, as well as repaint the doors and handle the installation once the mirror glass was ready. Within a few days and for just the cost of the mirror, my daughter’s closet now had almost-new doors. With the addition of the mirrors, the medium-sized room seemed bigger and more open, which I knew would be an asset when we eventually decided to sell the house. Yet it wasn’t the appearance of the room that my daughter was interested in.

As I said before, my daughter was absolutely crazy about clothes. She used to spend hours combing through her wardrobe and combining different pieces to create the ideal look. My little fashionista couldn’t have been happier with her new custom cut mirror closet doors, which allowed her to see her outfits from every angle and make sure her makeup was applied perfectly. Her father and I liked to encourage our children’s interests, but we were concerned that she was dedicated to fashion instead of an academic pursuit. All that time staring in the mirror eventually paid off: my daughter is now a successful buyer for one of the largest department stores in the nation!
