The steps to add French Country details these doors are as follows:
1) Select the corner appliques and escutcheon plates (parts that are mounted where the handles are installed) that suit the design you're looking for
2) Choose a moulding to integrate with the appliques (in our case we used astragal moulding that we cut in half
3) Miter the moulding to fit on the inside of the door frame
4) Mark where the corner appliques need to be cut out of the moulding
5) Cut out these sections of the moulding using a table saw and a carving knife
6) Make sure to number the location of each corner applique in case they are different sizes
7) Glue in the moulding and corner appliques
8) Layout the door pull escutcheon plates and glue in place
Steps for finishing the closet doors:
1) Sand all the parts smooth
2) Sand the outside edges of the door to slightly round them over to make them feel nice
3) Using a thick primer and a brush, paint the appliques so the seams blend in with the door
4) Sand all the primed areas
5) Prime the whole door with a quality primer
6) Sand down the primer to ensure it is smooth
7) Paint the doors with a quality paint

Do you have any ideas on how to dress up a basic bi fold closet door for a small closet? I just found your channel, my boyfriend and I are attempting to do some work ourselves. I'm a female and trying to venture out and do man stuff. Thanks. Ps your voice is so soothing.
Gorgeous doors.
It sounds like you have what's referred to as "slab doors" - a basic flat surface. You can dress them up by adding small strips of trim to make several rectangles on each door to simulate a frame and panel door. I did a quick search and found an article that explains this for you www.thriftyartsygirl.com/2016/04/from-hollow-core-bore-to-beautiful.html Cheers. Scott
@@HomeImprovementWoodworking thank you Sir. I will look at it.

@@HomeImprovementWoodworking you're welcome.
Those doors are gonna split on the mid rails.
That's an interesting comment... they did. Can you tell me why you think they split? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks. Scott
@@HomeImprovementWoodworking sorry I cheated. I watched your videos backwards and I noticed that door. There was nothing that I saw that you did wrong. I absolutely love your channel. I think you were right about internal stresses in the wood.
Ah, ok. I thought you might have had some insight into the potential problem. As I mentioned in the repair video, I think I must have mistakenly put glue on the dado of the middle rail. Cheers. Scott
