Welcome friends! Today I'1000 excited to share a simple DIY to upgrade a basic bathroom. This project was inspired by my friend Lindsay over at Woods and Ivory who shared her shower makeover on Instagram–thank yous Lindsay! Our primary bath came with builder grade sliding doors and the frame was impossible to continue clean. I disliked the look, and honestly felt similar I could not get by those yucky doors when it came to styling the infinite. I finally decided to become for it! Final weekend I completed this project by myself in just a few hours. Even if yous do not consider yourself a DIY-er, you can practise this!

Here are the drinking glass doors in all their glory! You can see that there is a lip at the lesser of the shower insert that will keep the h2o in, even without the doors. And then let'due south say farewell and give this space a fresh look!

How to Remove Drinking glass Shower Doors (and Frame)

Footstep 1: Lift Off the Doors

Lift each door off of the rails and carefully remove it from the shower. I was able to do this on my own, merely they are a bit heavy, then consider having a helper for this step.

Pace 2: Unscrew the Metallic Door Frame

Our frame had six screws and they were like shooting fish in a barrel to remove. (Please excuse the poor quality photo–it is a screenshot from my Instagram reel! But wanted to show you lot a visual.)

Pace 3: Remove the Metallic Door Frame

Employ a utility knife to cutting the silicone caulk lining the door frame. Tip: Be sure to cut parallel to the shower wall so that you do not scratch it.
