Old door made new



Over the last few days Scott has been working on one of the doors in the house. All of the doors in both sides as well as all the baseboards and door frames are a solid dark wood that has been covered up with layers and layers of paint. So we took a door off and spent two days stripping the paint off of one of the doors and then staining it. It was kind of chilly the last few days too so Scott was very brave doing the work right now. The door turned out to be very pretty. The wood is dark and kind of red with an old marble door knob. If this is the same wood that is under all the painted wood in the house it is going to be beautiful. We are planning to strip and stain the rest of the wood in the house on both sides and it will give a whole new look to the house. A richer look with more character. I put Chance up on the counter while I was standing there to let him talk to Scott through the window. Then this second picture is of Scott looking cool but working hard. The last picture is the finished product.
