When we moved in at Ellesmere, both upstairs bedrooms had non-descript, cream-coloured doors.
They needed to be changed to a more traditional, farm-house style of door.
I made Viv's bedroom door from an old, restored barn shutter. I used the hardware (hinges and handles) from the previous door and attached three lovely iron strip-hinges as decoration.
With our bedroom, I constructed the door out of boards of Douglas Fir and used the existing hardware. I added, as with Viv's door, iron strip-hinges which I had removed from a barn shutter and cleaned.
An inside view ...
I'm really happy that the upstairs doors are now like all the other doors and reflect the character of the house.
