Used Doors and Antique Knobs







No hollow doors here. For our interior doors, we bought 8 doors in DeLand, another Craigslist find, heavy, beautiful grain. They look like they came out of an office. My carpenter, Tom, shown here ripping casing for the doors, trimmed the doors and made them fit the rough openings, with some work. The door knob holes were not where they needed to be, once the doors were trimmed, and so, at his suggestion, I had a local cabinet shop make wooden escutcheon plates (shown here prior to being stained) to hide the imperfections. Here are an assortment of antique door knobs we bought off eBay, white, black, and swirly faux wood grain porcelain, and different shaped real wood knobs. Why match?
