Doorway to Creativity

Posted on October 28, 2013

It’s done!  I’m so happy it’s done!

studio door

The only thing left is the interior latch, but I can’t do that until I finish out some around the door.  For now, a nice triangle block of wood and a screw is my interior latch!  It works.

I found an old “pin” to hold my doors together…

    Wow, so cool! What an accomplishment. Surrounded by your own creativity, with a fire in your wood stove, with a stew bubbling on top, and the views……oh my! You will be in ‘creative heaven’ for sure!
