Once you're ready to get started, begin by prepping your closet doors. Clean and sand in the direction of the grain as needed, then use a damp cloth to remove any residual dust.
We recommend sanding with a heavier grit first to remove any large blemishes or rough spots, then smoothing out your surface with a finer grit.

Prime your doors before you add your pop of color. This project uses the addition of lattice to create a fun detail on the closet doors. If you are adding lattice, we recommend prepping it while the primer dries. Apply the lattice once the primer is dry.
