Doors. New. But they don't have to look that way. Five panel to mirror the main floor.

Being readied for paint.  Nothing shouts REMODEL like a flat hollow door.  Just say 'no'.

How I cope.

Carpenter humor!! Hoot! ('cope', get it?!)

105 years is a good run. The front porch of this 1906 house gets an overhaul.

Most of the deck and columns are rotted to the point of being held together by only paint.  We're tasked with replacing the majority of the front deck while ensuring that her vintage charms remain in tact.  Droool!!

Floor meets tile.

The checkered floor with Delorian grey grout looks great and feels wonderful on the feet.

Crown Molding @ Mink

To spruce up the dressing rooms MINK (3814 SE Hawthorne) asked me to apply a fatty crown molding around the upper portion of the dividing walls.  The molding is 4 1/2" thick and painted gold.  Good fun.

Everyone needs a laundry chute

Using the old chimney chase we installed a 7" x 9" laundry chute in the second floor linen closet.  The chute is made from custom sized tin ducting, and drops through a custom cabinet void in the kitchen below.  A coat of paint and she'll be done.

The finished 'hall'.

A coat of paint and a light fixture and she'll be complete.  Note the transom window in the upper end of the hall.

Here is the 'before' shot.

Here, and here are a couple of 'durring' shots.

Old trim, . . . meet new trim.

The homes existing trim work was mirrored using it's modern equivalent.   A few dozen coats of paint from now . . . you won't notice a difference.  Thanks to McCoy Millwork for the trim.
