the loo door

→ privacy in the bathroom!! yay us! the first interior door is officially hung.. it’s tall, all of our inside doors are 96″ to give us the feel of a bigger space in our tiny home. we got an amazing deal, door companies both local and online were pricing this style of molded door at $300 and up and while we only need 6 doors that’s still a lot of moolah. after lots of persistent craigslist browsing we got lucky and found both bathroom doors and the double set of bedroom doors for only $75 a piece. (now we’re on the hunt for the final two for the closet)

the breakdown of above photos: trimmed the excess drywall, cut and installed wood framing, used shims to level out the frame, a tiny trim was needed on the actual door (diy tip: use blue painters tape to prevent splintering or saw marks on your door), routed the door for hinges (second diy tip: a routing tool/template makes hinge cuts extremely easy..we got ours here), new hinges (we’re going with shiny brass.. we saw brass hardware in quantum of solace in the grand hotel and right then & there knew that’s what we wanted), and badabing, badabang, we’ve got a door! (doorknobs on order and paint.. soon)
