Do you need a simple and inexpensive way to update louvered doors? This style was popular in many mid century homes.
No need to completely replace.
Just cover the louvered slats with a piece of board.
Choose a decorative trim, paint and voila you have a modern looking updated door.
Here's the photo showing the before and after.
What simple decorating ideas do you have to share?
Interesting! I might have used different moldings on the door, but it it's a huge improvement over the mid-century funky.

Dorie Dillard It is a huge improvement.
Unless the louvers are "real" vents, I am all for covering them up. Very nice, Margaret!

Sally K. & David L. Hanson Thanks for stopping by. Sometimes renovations do not have to be costly.
We still see many of these here on Long Island. Much nicer look than the dated ones!

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Call 631-805-4400 (c) It is a better look.
Definitely an improvement, but I don't know if the face lift would make the darn things work any better.
