7. Faux French Door - Mount a mirror and muntin bars on a plain door to create an illusion of a French door. The result adds style and visually expands your space. It's not hard.

For making Faux French Door we need:

1. Tape measure

2. Mirror cut to size (see Step 1)

3. Pop-in muntins (available at home improvement stores)
to fit mirror

4. Double-stick, cushioned tape

5. Trimmer or crafts knife

6. 6 mirror clips and screws

7. Screwdriver

8. A helper

Instructions:

1. Measure the door. On all sides, subtract an amount equal to about one-sixth the door's length or width. (For example, if your door is 24 inches wide, subtract 4 inches for the left side and 4 inches for the right side, and you have a width of 16 inches.) Have a mirror cut to the size of the smaller measurements. Or check at home improvement or house wares stores for a mirror within about an inch of the size you need.

2. Add muntins. You may need to trim the muntins with a miter or circular saw. Adhere the muntins to the mirror with double-stick cushioned tape cut into small pieces and evenly spaced along the back of the muntins

3. Mount the mirror to the door. Place the mirror clips about 3 inches in from each corner and midway on each vertical side. Set the mirror in place under the clips two sets of hands are best at this point and use a screwdriver to gently tighten the clips.
