On the Hunt for Old Doors



The house at Moon Glow will have a lot of character. It will be a two-story home with a small basement garage. There will also be a workspace/office/studio space for me in a separate tiny house. I may be more excited about that than anything! {wink}

One of the most important elements in building a house will be the doors. I won't have pre-fab, all matching doors. I'm sure it's easy for you to guess where I will shop for these magnificent doors. Southern Accents Architectural Antiques will be my go-to. If they do not have what I'm looking for exactly, I will have them on the hunt for me! I was looking through Velvet and Linen's blog yesterday of their new Patina House and got very inspired! Here are a few that I pinned from the SA website. I would love to have pocket doors for the bedrooms and my bathroom. The pocket doors with the track hardware are what I'm thinking will be in my bathroom. They are so pretty in person! They are keeping them for me at the gym until I can install. I hope they don't charge me a storage fee...it could be 6 months!

There are two of these, I would love to have them as the front doors.

These would be used as pocket doors. I'm thinking for my bedroom. 


I think this one would be great for Emma's room?


I love the chippiness of this door. I would probably use this one in my separate tiny house.


There are a lot more doors to be found! If you see any you think I might like, let me know!!

These are so popular for basements or a wine cellar.

  1. I love this idea, Lucy! My in-laws built their house around a pair of front doors that came from a law office in the Mississippi Delta. They have always been a fun conversation piece for guests.
