Interior Doors

Bedroom Door
 Yesterday was windy and rainy, so Scott worked inside hanging doors upstairs. (Too dangerous to be up on scaffolding)


The doors are solid wood with a traditional six-panel design. Wood species is poplar, which takes paint well- yes, the doors will all be painted white.

The finish on the door hardware is oil-rubbed bronze - you can see the three hinges in these photos. This black-looking metal will be used throughout the house (exterior door hardware, light fixtures, perhaps cabinetry knobs?) for continuity. Attention to details like that make a big difference with how the overall space will feel. (well-thought-out and put-together is what we are going for!)

Bathroom & Linen Closet Doors

The interior door lever handles and latches will be installed later. Remember lever-style (instead of knob) is easier to open for all abilities, and was selected on purpose to meet 'Universal Design' guidelines. (see post about Universal Design). In addition, the width of the doors is a bit over-sized at 2'-10" wide. This allows for things like walkers or wheel chairs to be able to easily pass through.
