What You Have

While I love designing and building new things out of wood, one of the most valuable skills I’ve picked up along the way is being able to take care of and repair furniture and woodwork.

Our kitchen opens up onto a small back porch. When we moved in, the door leading out to the porch was a standard home center steel insulated exterior door, installed backwards with the metal sill pointing into the kitchen.

Not only did it not fit with the house, it was just ugly. It was a reminder of good intentions (insulated and weather-sealed) gone wrong. After spending the better part of my last two years remodeling the kitchen, building cabinetry, installing floors and trim, the door really needed to go.
