Some sterling for you

A little progression of the sweetest smile! 

doors, doors, doors

"bless these doors that they may prove ever open to joy and love"

Doors have become a sensitive topic in our tiny house. Obviously when it comes down to efficiency and practicality or simple charm and beauty, I chose the latter.

  

Truly, other than Sterling, there is nothing more cheerful and homey than a gorgeous, darling door to welcome you. In our tiny house we have three sets of doors. Our main entry, our bathroom and a door to Sterling's room. For the entry, I chose the largest, heaviest, most beautiful single pane, old hardwood french doors that came from an old bank. I got them for 120$ total! They are my dream doors but they are probably the worst doors I could have chosen on a house that is limited in space and capacity (considering these doors weigh 1000lb)...Common sense would use pocket doors for the other two rooms, most tiny house doers do. They save on space when opening and utilize the empty space in the wall frame...i get it...but still. I love solid old doors with beautiful hardware and I don't want to hide that behind a wall most of the time. I love doors on exterior tracks, big warehouse doors, barn doors, or french doors...but the wall to the kids room will have too many obstructions for this...so a regular sweet little door it is for Sterling's room. I did compromise for the bathroom and we decided to do a pocket door considering there is just nowhere for the door to open into...I will have to get creative and make it the prettiest pocket door you have ever seen.
