Back Door

The back door on the house was a cheap, hollow-core door that had seen better days.

 Just by chance, there was an unpainted solid-core door in the basement, that had been left by the previous owners.  I painted and mounted it.
I used oil-based paint, and assumed that letting it dry for 48 hours would be enough, but I'm still getting a little paint sticking on the door jamb, so I might have to repaint it at some point.  However, for now it's a much more solid and secure door for the house, and much better looking too.  Now if only I could get around to finishing the rest of the paint on the house.  That's coming soon.

Accent Paint

Here the paint is about 1/2 done, so with one coat it's a little splotchy on the wall, but gives a good feel for the color.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.
