Sheetrocking too expensive and time consuming? Answer = Yes. One alternative is to build a wall with doors. Much more interesting than sheetrock and takes a minimal amount of skills.

Love your wall of doors. I’m trying to get some ideas for a room that I want to spruce up. I’m using Simply Decorate as my online interior design service. They also have great ideas on their room decorating page. Even though I work for them, I can honestly say I am so glad I picked them to help me. Have you heard of them?
just discovered your site. I totally relate. I’m doing a house that I moved near New Orleans. Can you tell me how you joined the doors together, I love this look and have some cabinet doors that I would like to use this way, but I’m not sure how to deal with the seams, I’m coinsidering biscuits or dowels with glue. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Will continue to follow your efforts. Good luck
Nopainter,
I was just collecting ideas myself and haven’t actually built the wall yet. I’m thinking that the most difficult part will be planning it out so that the doors all look good together and that may or may not mean adding extra studs or supports to secure the doors to.
I kind of envision having thin molding covering the seams and maybe painting that molding a uniform color, as if to frame each door.
From your comment, it sounds like you want to join each door together. I was just going to secure it to the studs and get them as close as possible. But yes, if you want to join them, I guess biscuits or dowels are the way to go. I’m not skilled enough to make that look good though! 😉
