So we found these doors in the basement, one came off between the stairwell to the dining room and the other on the kitchen.
The narrower of the 2 was decided to go on bedroom one and the wider on bedroom 2 to replace the brightly painted doors...
When Rachel as visiting it rained on Saturday so she spent a few hours sanding.
I used the same stain on the door that went on the winter room crown molding.
And one coat at a time the finish went on. Until (three weeks later) it is finally ready!
Yesterday, Dad and I hung the door up. It took a few modification to how it attaches to the door frame. But it went on and and shut on just the second try!
We chiseled out a new hole on the frame for where the latch ends up.
I also got new hardware for it, the old one didn't fit, and didn't match two of the doors on the landing. So some consistency will be nice.
So now I have a bedroom door that actually closes. And doesn't have red paint on it, which means that I only have one area of red paint left in my room. Little by little.







Wow! That looks amazing! Also, the sanding went a lot faster once I realized you did need a little bit of pressure (not none).
