I wanted a sliding door for my bedroom but the wall where the door was supposed to hide was too small. So I had to find a trick. My idea was to make a folding door. But it was not enough. It had to be awesome, quick and easy to make.


So:


Ikea items hacked :

- 3 LACK side tables – high gloss white

- 1 LACK side table – orange

- 2 LACK wall shelf – birch effect


Other items used :

- 1 sliding door system

- 4 hinges

- 6 fixing brackets

- adhesive paper – oak effect

- mat acrylic paint – orange

- some screws


The advantages of using Ikea LACK items :

- the LACK items are lights

- the finish is already great, no need to paint the front side


I used the 4 tables to make the main part of the door. I assembled the sliding door system to it and then added the wall shelf with the hinges. I chose not to fix the 2 shelves together, that way I can just close that upper part and let the cat go take a nap in the bedroom.
