Finally

Our french doors that have been sitting on saw horses in the basement for the last year are finally primed, painted, and hung.  We got them up just in time to refinish the upstairs floors without worrying about kitty paw prints in the finish.  Like, a month ago. 

Just ignore that storm door chilling in it's box to the left of the doors.  It's been there since early fall.....eh, at least the box matches the wall color.  Actually, I'm not sure that is a good thing.  'Cardboard box' was not really the look I was going for in here! 

Luckily, you can't really see it with the door open.  Does that count as a 'clever concealment?'  Anyway, these doors have come a long way from when we moved in.

Yes, there was salmon paint underneath the cream.  We attempted to strip them, thinking we would stain them.

I gave up after what seemed like hundreds of hours of work, and primed over them again.  I had better things to do than pick off layers of stubborn paint with a toothpick.

 

Thank you to BIN and my last nerve for making this project a success!
