We now have a red exterior door that leads from the upstairs bathroom to a small outdoor patio.
It was once the worst door on the exterior of the house, and it is now the best!
During a two month restoration, this early 1930s craftsman style door with original blown glass, copper exterior knob and large crystal interior knob, has made a wonderful recovery! Look below for the BEFORE images. We believe over 30 layers of oil & lead paint were removed.
The copper knob has been beautifully restored leaving the dark worn patina. (more photos later.)
The interior has been painted a very nice country beige and looks great! In addition we spruced up an already decent storm door with a new closer and hardware.
I will have additional photos posted to the blog after re-installation of the doorknobs and the new weather stripping, and once everything is cleaned up.
