As you know, we’ve been doing this Summer DIY Project that has been the project that just wouldn’t end!(See more posts under: All Things Home DIY)
Most of our project utilized one of two things…
Behr Paint or fabric!
This little one-day side-project included both!
“I think we need new pantry doors” I told The Husband after I painted the old ones…
He glared at me.
In all fairness my “totally free” Summer DIY Project was proving to be just on the other side of free.
Nevertheless…these doors were in desperate neeeed…(old paint-old cabinets…)
First I painted the doors with the trim color…Behr Ultra Sandstone Cove.
Then I set my tiny brain in motion and told it to find a solution to my pantry door problems.
Here’s what The Tiny Brain came up with…
I took apart 2 new pillow cases so they were 2 longer pieces of single layer fabric .
(Pretty sheet sets are a great way to get fabric at really good prices!)
And added a tiny ruffle…then hemmed and ruffled the bottom part making a cute little curtain!
Then I hot glued my little curtain right to the glass in the pantry doors…
Remember the doors before? Very 80′s…
Much better!
A little fabric. A little Behr Ultra. And the door is as cute as a button!
~Love to you my friends~

Still have lots of room left in my house for more paint!
I sure would love to win that paint
love paint!!!
I adore what you did with your pantry doors, so creative
deezie
Great job! Almost makes me wish I had some ugly glass to cover!
Hello, Hope this works…been a follower for a long time, but you wouldn’t know that because I don’t have a blog and don’t know how or were to email.( I know, Duh!) But I do love all your projects and ideas, very creative. My hubby and I are starting to refinish some of our furnishings, we like the Country look, so your Behr paint will help a lot.
Keep on creating,
Roe
We just moved in. I need some paint!
Oops! I’m too late!
super cute! Love the fabric choices. Cute blog header too!

Hello
My name is Anahi. I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I love your curtain, I have a similar window of my room. I was not sure how to fix the glass, what did you use? What kind of support? I can not write, much less speak English well, so I put this text in the Google translator, I hope you understand. Thank you very much if you can answer me.
thanks
see you
Hi Anahi….I did nothing to the glass. Just hot glued the fabric (with a high-heat glue gun and glue sticks) right onto the glass. No support needed on my window but the fabric is there for good! Hope this helps! xo
Very clever solution, and much prettier than the old doors! This would even work if you didn’t have glass to cover…just wanted to spruce up some doors somewhere…will definitely keep it in mind. Thanks for sharing!
Hi,
I was wondering what your wall color is in your kitchen. You mentioned that the doors and trim are painted Sandstone Cove, but I love your wall color and would like to a similar color in my den.
Thanks!
Olivia
i love this! i want to do the same with my pantry =) where did you get the fabric from? will the fabric stay stuck to wood if i glue gun it? sorry, i’m new to all of this DIY stuff. thanks!
Kathleen…I bought a couple of pillow cases to use for fabric! And I used the glue gun and it’s working great! (Been up for nearly a year I think!)
I would like to learn more about antiquing and cottage styles
I LOVE this idea!! I want to do this, but…
I’m having a hard time figuring out how you cut the pillowcase to make one long piece of fabric. Did you cut down the side seams? But if you did that, how come I can’t see the seam )the one that would be on the short end of a pillowcase) in the middle of the pantry door?! LOL I’m so lost right now….
Jess
Jess, yes I cut the side seam, and there is a seam right in the center of both fabric pieces! I doesn’t really show with the gathers! xo
