Historic Door, New Home

Historic door found tucked away and forgotten in a salvage yard.

We completely stripped and sanded this door to bare wood. It needed a few structural repairs and some holes filled, but turned out beautiful with loads of character. The leaded glass was, unfortunately, too far gone to reuse on this door for safety reasons. We made a new custom jamb with slots for modern weatherstripping and a solid white oak threshold. The finish on the door and threshold is dark walnut danish oil with exterior oil-based polyurethane for extra protection. 

We selected restoration hardware to complete the historic look. This was a very rewarding project!
