I wanted to share the finished laundry room door, because it's a looker and I smile every time I go near it, which is fifty times a day. Okay, so maybe it's not really vintage, but it looks like it is.
Don't have an old door? Make one.
As a recap, I wrapped the old louvered door with pine boards and popped out the upper section of louvers to make room to install the fake glass, you can check that out here. I finally stained the door and it looks just like the one I made up in my head. I used a stain/poly combo in Mahogany and didn't focus on sanding and smoothing because I wanted this to look old.
I have to say it is very heavy, and if I had proper wood working tools, I wouldn't have attached the wood to the old door. Since I don't own anything more powerful than a miter box and saw, I did it my way. Mistakes... I've made a few. (Sorry, Sinatra fans, I had too). So until the door falls apart or the track falls off the wall (whichever comes first) it's staying like this!
This project inspired me to solve a screen door problem, I'll post that tomorrow.
Thanks for looking!
