We need to buy a door, too?

36w1d

Anyone who has been to our house knows that though we have lots of doorways, we have very few doors. And the few doors that we do have are accordian style and not very sound- or light-proof. (My mom's house has real doors...but I guess that's the difference between 1893 and 1906!)

So Chris and I took a trip to Urban Ore in Berkeley this weekend to scope out their selection and hopefully find something that would work in the door frame of the nursery. After arriving too late on Saturday to complete our search, we returned on Sunday. We found a door, found the lock, the plates, the knob, paid for it and got it out to the car...when Chris discovered a big crack in the door that we hadn't seen inside. Blah.

So back inside we went, and we were fortunately able to exchange it for one of our second choices. Chris is in the process of stripping off the multiple layers of paint, and then he'll sand it and cut it down to size. I'll post a progression of pics when he's done!
