I don’t know about you but it seems to me like doors don’t open out anymore. The best doors glide effortlessly to the side, giving us a slow reveal of what’s hidden behind it. Not only is this obviously way more fun but it is also a great space saver! Are you sold yet?
I rescued this sideboard from certain death two years ago and it’s taken me a long time to figure out how to make it into something useable and beautiful. Even though I loved it as it was, the drawers did not slide easily and one of the doors hung off. The veneer was chipped and stained, so it was definitely time for a change.
I decided to channel my Gwyneth Paltrow and go all sliding doors on it. I’ve used a beautiful soft pink plywood for those doors and lots of white contact paper to give it an overall brighter look. You can see the whole tutorial over on the Uncle Bob’s Blog today where I show you how to measure up and create the sliding door using inexpensive and accessible materials. You can do this on any sideboard or cupboard you have that needs some tlc.
I plan to change the legs to something more simple. Don’t you think that would just finish it off so well? If you want to see that follow us by clicking on the links below!

Thank you so much Marlene! This is definitely the simplest way I could think of to put sliding doors in. There’s probably a more technical way to do it but we don’t need to know that ;D

body massage says
body massage near me is a type of massage therapy that uses firm pressure and slow strokes in order to reach deeper layers and fascia (the connective tissues surrounding the muscles). Deep tissue massage is used to treat chronic pains and areas like stiff neck and upper back, low back discomfort, tight leg muscles, sore shoulders, and other contracted conditions.

Engagement rings have been around for more than a hundred years, and they’re still one of the most popular gifts to give on the occasion of a wedding. It’s common for an engagement ring to cost thousands of dollars, but that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank to get something beautiful and meaningful. Additionally, engagement rings long island can be made out of a wide variety of precious metals and stones, but diamonds are by far the most popular choice for a number of reasons. Diamonds are durable, long-lasting and resistant to scratches, which makes them perfect for everyday wear.
