SHE was bored of seeing her daughters' plain bedroom doors day in, day out.

So mum and interior designer Tasha decided to have a little fun, and turned them into "apartment" doors.

Tasha shared a look at her transformation of her daughters' bedroom doors in a Reel on her Instagram page eiqruidrdiqktprw

On the bottom of one was written "No. 257", while the one next door was "No. 258" - references to the times the girls were born.

Door knockers and letterboxes were added, as well as a different doormat outside each of the rooms.

"This is one of my favourite DIY projects ever - I gave my girls’ bedroom doors a makeover so that they look like apartment doors," Tasha explained in a post on her Instagram page.

She added that she changes up the doors each season, writing: "My girls love them".

In a more detailed post on her website, Tasha said that the long hallway leading to her daughters' rooms - complete with 10 doors - was dark, boring and her least favourite part of the house.

And she wanted to give her daughters their own unique space, while also implementing some important privacy rules.

"I also came up with this idea as a way to respect their boundaries/privacy (knocking before entering, leaving notes in their mailbox if they are upset and don't want to talk, etc)," she explained.

"The door knockers, address numbers, mailboxes, antique fire extinguishers and lantern will stay year-round.

"And I figure we'll add seasonal wreaths for fun."

In the Instagram Reel, she showed how the doors looked for Christmas 2021, with brick wallpaper adding a cute edge, before explaining how the hallway had been transformed for Christmas 2022 - with board and batten.

"I know a lot of you will be sad to see the brick wallpaper gone, but I still absolutely love this area," she added.

"Most importantly, my girls still love it."
