We are in the middle of giving our home a little face lift ..... it's in need of a good paint and a few small additions ....
first on the list has been replacing our front and internal doors with some great vintage ones found on ebay (for a very good price) .....
this was our old front door ....and our internal doors were just old plain ones, you can see a bit of one in this post .....
I must say I am so happy with them .... they need a bit of a paint and the front door will need to be painted black on the outside, but I can't believe the difference they make already.
I especially love the beautiful old handles ....
and the glass window in the front door ....
(it lets a lovely light in)
the hall .....
our bedroom ....
Megs room .....
..... and the bathroom all now have new (old) doors,
so that's one thing crossed off the list ....
next post I will show you the old mantelpiece (another great ebay find) that we plan to put in the lounge room ...
stay tuned !!!

Wow, they are lovely doors! They look like they have been there forever!! Esp the front door with the glass section. Well done you!
oh they're great! and better quality than the newer doors i am sure! cannot wait to see the rest! ;))
they're really beautiful, and make such a huge difference!
Love it! I wanted to use old doors in our place but didn't have luck finding the right sizes/configurations. I could still keep looking though :)
They are stunning doors yes sir they are. What a great find.. Just stumbled on your blog via "shipbuilding" - I love it! I live in Perth and we are blessed with floorboards and character - your home has already inspired me - Thanks for sharing!
Love what you have done looks so much lighter, you have a beautiful home my friend, hope you have a great day.
Always Wendy
Good work! I've been dying to replace my front door forever,but keep getting nervous about lovely vintage ones not fitting. Any tips? Did you hang it yourself and is it a good fit?
nice simple and authentic like it very much
I like the uniformity you’ve established with all your doors. Aside from the white paint, the doorknobs are all positioned a bit higher than normal. I like it because it sets a kind of uniqueness in your home. It was my first time to see a door with a doorknob placed that way, so I was quite amazed.
