French Door Makeover




Are you like me and sit there in your home wondering what you can do next to make it look even better. Plotting the next project or small renovation. I had this vision that this entry would look amazing with french doors so I set out to find myself some. I found the best pair on ebay, perfect size, clear glass 12 panels - Oh boy how excited was I. My very handy husband who is a carpenter by trade had these beauties installed in no time at all. They are all chippy and old just how I like them. They just finish the room and look like they were meant to always be there. Don't you love it when things turn out how you see them in your mind. Sandy x

Love the french doors. Love the old chippy look too but perhaps that is because we have too many to paint!! French doors are wonderful anywhere anytime.

So YOU were the high bidder!!! (just kidding,lol)
I, too, am on the lookout for some french doors like these, but I'll have to pay a carpenter to do the woodwork for me! You lucky thing, they look sooo good.

I would have French doors in every room if I could! Yours are GORGEOUS! They change the look of the room entirely ~ I'm envious over here and you can bet that I will be begging my husband for a pair!

Great idea that turned out fabulous!!!

fairmaiden said...

Oh I lOvE them! They do look like they have always been there. My hubby is a carpenter too and he installed two sets of french doors where my youngest daughter's room is, which is next to the dining and parlor room. I lOvE them. I have hopes to turn that room into my art studio one day. Your cottage is so lovely. I admired how you decorate. I think Rachel Ashwell would be right at home in your cottage. Have a beautiful day lounging on that sofa next to your new french doors ooohhing and aaaahhhing over them!

Think all the girls out there include me are all envied of you Sandy, for having a luck on the ebay,a nd for having a carpenter-husband! Wish I could have any one of it ie the just perfect match at ebay and a handy husband but not Sandy's!!!

brismod said...

I tried to leave a message to say I liked your doors yesterday but I got spat out of the computer. A big thumbs up from me! And lucky you for marrying a chippy!!

Oh I love the doors - they look great. We are thinking of doing something similar in our house - we already have solid double doors between our living room and our dining room and want to change these for glazed doors. Hope they look as good as yours!
