Building our Studio: Doors

Okay, I get it. The title “Doors” might not seem so exciting. I actually really love doors. A door is an awesome statement piece and is really important to the look and feel of a space. I worked really hard to find the perfect doors for the Hackner Home studio shop. Follow along on our journey with door installation and delivery. Keep checking back for more updates!

Unloading

The lovely workers from Cleveland Lumber unload a set of doors from their truck.

We worked with a local lumber yard called Cleveland Lumber to design our doors. They delivered the doors the other day. After they deliver and install the doors, they paint them. I love that part of wooden doors. You have more control of the color and you repaint them as time goes on.

This is a set of double doors to go in the doorway to the left (not pictured).

Inside the shop, we have doors to separate the front showroom area from the back workroom area and another door for the bathroom and various closets. We also replaced the front doors. The doors along the back wall are going to be an awesome statement piece for that large wall. The wall is white and the doors are going to be black, so they will stand out very well.

Installation

Here are the French doors installed. This space is going to be an office.

They had to then install each door or set of doors. There are a couple spaces that have double doors and a couple spaces that have single doors. Spaces like a bathroom only need a single door, while other spaces, like a larger workroom have a double door for more space. It also looks more inviting, in my opinion.

I love doors so much, so this is a lot more exciting for me than it seems. I can really see the space coming together now with doors.

Color

Our painter paints the doorframe to match the door.

We are also painting the doorframe black. This gives the door and doorframe a modern look. I love that modern style, so this is important to me. I like that the door and doorframe match. It gives it a simple and cohesive look.

Check out the painted door!

This door is not entirely complete, but it already looks amazing! It does not have a handle, you can see that if you look closely. The doorframe looks awesome black. It is a very different look, but I really like it.
