| our home's entry before the flippers worked in it |
Still to do in the foyer - doors. We have a new front door leaning against the wall in the living room, it's still in the box it was shipped in. Finding hardware has been interesting. We wanted an interior "push (and maybe twist) to lock" like the front door on our former home. Those aren't being manufactured now apparently. Everything we found was a keyed lock - as in insert key from the outside to lock the door. Now we have discovered KEVO and the "research is on as to ... how easily can it be hacked ... is it the best of the current crop of lock sets for our needs etc.. The mechanism on the inside is curved at the top - the hardware I've favored is not curved. I tend to like straight lines (and circles). So, the front door is pretty high on the to do list. It's so pretty, I'm excited about seeing it installed (not my project/above my skill set/hubby's job). The flippers took all the arches out of this house. Neighbors who have been in comment on the arches being gone. In my typical unfiltered style I have stated that I thought they looked absolutely hideous in the pictures I've seen of "before" ... they were all different sizes which would have been very unsettling for me. A most recent visitor told me that the previous owners had the arches installed because she "loved" the arches in the home (they've been over and heard my arch distaste) across the street.
The local ReStore has a bunch (like several pallets) of solid core doors. It is my plan to replace every door in the house with a solid core door and I'd like to start in the foyer where there are three pairs of double doors, all of which were hung with significant gaps. The door knobs on the study doors are "off" by about an inch of each other and remind me of a raised eyebrow. I want to finish the doors in a white wax but leave them natural otherwise. Like this:
