Well, our old office door-turned-new hallway door makeover is complete!
The finishing touch was this curtain my friend Jana made us for the back side of the door:
(excuse the partially painted door trim!)
Since there’s a window on the exterior wall opposite this door (and another two-story house outside of it) we wanted to add a little privacy with the addition of a light-filtering fabric. I picked up the two cafe curtain rods at Bed, Bath & Beyond for $4.97 each. They were originally gold, but I wanted them to match the door knob so I spray painted them oil-rubbed bronze with some leftover spray paint.
I’m finishing up the kitchen cabinets today, but now that the door is done, I’m thinking a hallway makeover will be in the works soon, too. After all, pass-throughs should be fun to pass-through too, right? 😀
One more note before I get back to work in the kitchen though: I switched from Feedburner to Feedblitz recently, and I think some email subscriptions got messed up in the process. If you’re no longer subscribed and would like to sign up to receive a notification each time I publish a new post, just enter your email address in the box that looks like this in my sidebar:
I appreciate you taking the time to do that, and I can’t wait to show you how the kitchen cabinets turn out on Friday!
PS- A lot of my emails didn’t go out in April and early May, so here are some links to my previous hallway door makeover posts if you missed them the first time around and would like to check ’em out! 🙂
Hi Layla – Just wanted to say “thanks” for making the switch to Feedblitz. Email notifications are coming through great now! And thank you for such a beautiful blog – can’t wait for the future chapters of your adoption story/life!
I just love your door makeover, Layla! Such a heartwarming logo! ♡
….luv it!!!!….also, thanks for sharing your Adoption Update….:)
Good morning Layla,
Absolutely love this door! Can you share where one might find these type doors? Also, just a thought, maybe how to create one? The reason I ask is that when I do find something I really like, like this door, they are upwards of 2 to 3 hundred dollars. I’m not that creative but you are.
Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us.
Hope
Hi, Hope! 🙂
Here’s a link back to my first post about the door: Hallway Door Makeover
We got ours at a architectural salvage place called Southern Accents in Cullman, AL. Do you have something like that in your area?
Not that I am aware of. I have searched Georgia and have come up empty. When I do find the occasional salvage piece, (yard sale), the price is so much that I let them keep it for me. lol. But I will check out the one you mentioned and see what I can find. Thank you for getting back with me.
Have a beautiful day!

Way to turn a boring pass through into a true focal point! I love how it turned out, it adds loads of character to your hallway.
Hi Layla,
I love the word ‘possibilitarians’…… but what exactly is the business?? Sounds intriguing! Also love the door, too, bt that would go without saying. Well done!
Love the new door! I really like the color you selected and the curtain really makes the lettering stand out better. Nice job!
I really like the makeover of the pass-through. I have been thinking of updating my hallway. It seems dreary and could use some cheering up! I love getting ideas from your posts.
I love love the door! I would love to borrow your idea and put a door like that to our master bedroom. The curtain is genius! Can’t wait to see the kitchen. Your house has become a gorgeous home and sweet pea will be very happy and loved there. Congrats on y’alls letter.
Hi Layla
This is my first time commenting, so just wanted to say that I love your blog. I’m from South Africa so following from afar, but I even got goosebumps with your adoption update earlier this week! I love your style as well as the fact that you are a child of God and I am even praying for your adoption and following you on Instagram for updates!
Now for my actual reason for commenting – I use Bloglovin’ to keep track of my blogs. Since your switch to Feedblitz I am not able to view your posts there, it tells me that you’ve moved and I have to click through two pages to get to your web-based page. Am I doing something wrong or are you no longer on Bloglovin’?
Best regards
Esti
I had the same problem with Bloglovin’. I noticed when I searched for this blog there were several different subscription options. The one with 8000+ followers gives me that error message, but the one with only 200ish followers seems to work as normal.
I have been getting all your email blogs for a couple months now and loving them! I have to tell you that your blogs make me smile, feel good, and inspired. I admire your adoption journey immensely. I am a mom of 3 and am excited for what is in store for you and your kiddo!
I am also curious on the spray paint you used for the rods – you posted about Rustleum (?) – is it the same thing? I have a door knob I would like to revamp.
All the best-
Elizabeth
I just love your very creative idea for this door–not just the door itself, it is so darling–but “Possibilitarians”–unique but perfectly stated!!!
Love!!! This door makeover has me so inspired. Surely I need an office door somewhere in my house, right? 😉
“Possibilitarians” !! That is so fantastic ! It says it all.
xo
It looks fantastic!!
Oh. My. Goodness.
I might’ve just audibly squealed.
Too much awesome, girl!
There is nothing I don’t love about this door! I would love to see a full length photo from the hallway if you do another post about it. For research purposes…. 🙂
Just wondering, are you going to keep that door closed once Sweet P comes home?
Layla, LOVE THE DOOR! I am on the hunt for a white curtain for my back door that is very similar to this. Do you know what kind of fabric it is? Or does your friend have an etsy shop with curtains or anything? I need something sheer enough to let light in but give us the privacy we need! I love this. Let me know. Will you also send the link for the rods that you used! It is all just what I am looking for! Thanks for the post! So fun!
