If you happen to have a bi-fold door that you’d like to re-purpose, learn this fantastic trick for increasing space in a tight spot! Or, if you happen to have a tiny closet, office or water closet, learn how to expand that area with minimal effort . . .

I feel claustrophobic in what I like to call a potty closet (tiny room for your toilet) and exposed in an open bathroom plan so when I designed our floor plan I put the toilet in a corner. It took me a few years to figure out exactly what I wanted to do. Then I came across some beautiful solid wood bi-fold closet doors.

Inspiration hit me!

After a quick refinish, my DH and I used cafe door hardware to mount them. I love it, and my dear husband loves them. Easy weekend project. We like it so much, we are replicating the same idea to create a partial privacy wall for my older daughter, who shares a room with her 3 much younger sisters.
