The Doors

One of the important interior details of the house are the doors. When we first tore down the guts of the house, one of the first things we did was save the gorgeous original portals and put them in a safe place so that we could--one day--restore them to their past (maybe better) glory.

First in line was the kitchen door; to keep out the cold most of all. We started with paint stripper, then again, and again, and then a power disc sander. I counted six layers, two different pink layers.

some of the original hardware too.

Once the door is sanded and clean, it's time to stain (same as the cabinets), add some black detail, and coat with a couple of layers of urethane. Check out the results below.
