I love the doors. Not only do they look great, but you’d spend a fortune today on anything with the same quality of craftmanship and materials that were standard in the 50s.
Did you entertain the idea of tearing out the wall between them? We ditched the closet doors awhile ago and want to merge the two, but… so much cleanup!
Great work Mel!! I truly detest the pineapple plaster effect. Well done on removing it!! Creds to your belief in the swinging doors!! Thanks again for sharing! Please keep going! All the best, mike from barcelona
Love the doors…I’ve put louvered closet doors I just about every house I’ve lived in. They’re good for ventilation. You did a really nice job…everything looks great
Love the doors. I'm surprised you didn't have them attached differently. I would've had them open towards the outside vs opening towards the inner wall.
I was so happy to see you kept the wood trim and didn't paint it white! I love wood trim, and I'm always so sad when people white wash all those details.
San Jose ca. bunch of homes built that way I had to remove the wall between the closets to make one big closet. imagine 2 6-foot wide closets with a 24-inch door you end up with a foot of dead space on each closet end that's hard to do anything with, WHY!
If bifold doors block too much of the opening when folded back, they can be taken apart, and a second set of hardware installed on the opposite side to create two French doors.
Finally I've been thinking of doing this warm water technique to get rid of the bumps from the textured surface. Did you get a completely smooth wall or a flat yet textured surface without popcorn? Thanks for your time and your decision is great . ❤
Question ❓❓❓ If you were going to go through so much trouble to fix up that room, why didn't you stain the different woods to match? The shelf, baseboard, doors and floor are all different colors. I mean it looks okay, but matching everything would have been so much better. Or at least making the shelf, baseboard and doors over in a color that compliments the floor. Just my opinion.
I would have kept the doors too, but painted them since the wood color doesn't match the wood color of the floor. If they were my doors, I would paint them black.
We’re both closets for you? One could have two hanging rods, one for pants, one for shirts. The other closet for dresses and bathrobes. Even if both closets are for you.
WOW. If you hadn't shown the process, I wouldn't have believed it's the same closet. You've really upgraded it. 😂 I came here for the Treehouse video, and i liked it so much that I subscribed. That Treehouse is AMAZING. I first saw the short clip in @morganwitmer channel, and got your channel from there.
