Quick and Easy Robe Door Revamp

Firstly, thanks so much to everyone for all the baby well wishes - you guys are just too sweet :-)

Now, on to some decorating stuff!!!

I wanted to finally share the little face-lift I gave my master bedroom built-in robe.

Remember how a little while ago I put out an S.O.S for some dummy strap hinges like this:

Well, despite a tonne of friendly offers and advice from you guys (THANK YOU!) that particular style still managed to elude me here in Australia so I ended up with two of these instead:

If you're interested I found them here on eBay.

Because I didn't actually need the hinge function I simply cut it off with a hacksaw to create these individual simple straps:

Now, here's the built-in before:

Ewww, right?

Well that's actually after I already painted the knotty orange pine infills pure white. 

I had initial thoughts about replacing the doors completely though because I'm all about easy budget makeovers I decided it was best to try and make the most of what I already had.
Soooo, with a minimal amount of work and cashola here's the robe now:

It's a subtle change though certainly more in-sync with the rest of my master bedroom.

All I did was remove the doors, bottom rail and fascia (which simply unscrewed), took them outside then spray painted all the beige enamel white. Once dry I attached my four hinge straps then reassembled everything again inside. I was a bit concerned the new white paint might scratch or chip off the frame though it dried rock hard and around one month on it's still in perfect nic.
