A door, is a door, is a door...NOT!

We FINALLY have a new door!!! Thanks to Colin's parents for buying it for us, we have NO draft coming in from the garage! There used to be about an inch and a half gap between the flooring and the bottom of the door which let a ton of cold air flow through. Who would have though a year ago Colin and I would be elated about getting a door? :) The old door was a hollow wood door that had the split top you can open up. It also had a big section that had been ripped off, from a dog probably, exposing the hollowness of the door inside. Our new door is really sturdy and after getting painted the same white as the trim, looks awesome!

The door from the inside of the house.


The back part of the old door. With a bit of damage! (Not from us!)

We got the frame in...somehow.


And our new pretty door! We still need to paint the molding and the wall where the paint came up. But it looks SO much better!

Thanks Suzie! And yes, that is SO true! Funny how I'd rather spend money on molding than clothes! haha
