If you're a regular reader of this blog, you probably remember this simple robe door makeover from about a year ago....

When I re-decorated my master bedroom, I simply painted the ugly beige metal surround with enamel spray paint to create a more cohesive (i.e. less ugly) look.
I thought some readers, who may be entertaining the idea of trying something similar, might be interested in hearing how the paint has held up, especially considering we use the doors every day.
Well, I'm pleased to report that it still looks as good today as the day I painted it!
I must admit that I was initially sceptical about the durability so was pleasantly surprised when, as the days and weeks passed by, the paint remained scratch and chip free.
As I said, just thought some of you might appreciate the update.

Where did you find the black metal details that you applied?
They make the doors look amazing!!!
This is cool to get a "wearability" update. I often wonder how things look a year or 5 years later when I see "dream houses" in magazines.
Hi Kristine!
This looks great! I have these same ugly closet doors. I had the idea to use beadboard wallpaper on them. Is that what you did here? I'm not sure where to find the original post. Love the hardware details on the sides too.
Thank you so much as I do love me an update! I'm a new follower but those doors are amazing! I used to have a house with those and they were so "dated". You totally changed that with your design and update. Wow! I'm really impressed with those doors! And yes....like the other gal asked is that real hardware or just a facsimile? Whatever, those hinges look really nice on there. I'll have to check your old posts to see how you got the bead board look! Thanks so much for a great blog!
Love the look. The hardware also is fabulous!
What a great way to update closet doors. LOVE THIS!
Thanks for the comments gals. Sorry, I just realised that the links I included in the post were showing as the same colour as the regular text so weren't visible. I have changed it now so they are dark grey. You can access the original post by clicking the "robe door makeover" text above the picture.

I remember when you did that. Isn't it wonderful when something turns out even better than you planned in the longrun? xo Diana
Your blog is wonderful. I just had to stop by and let you know. I saw you on Today's Creative Blog as a featured blogger- and your projects are simply stunning. I am now following you! Can't wait to look at other things you've done as I scroll through!

The doors look great. I am going to show my neighbour. She wants to paint her surrounds. The hinges make the whole thing pop. Well done.
