Coat Closet

This may not be the most exciting news, but I feel like ONE (little) THING is finished!

They finished the moulding for the doorway of the new coat closet in the downstairs hallway... We jumped right in there and added a shelf and primed/painted and then Mike put in the bar.

We also picked out the door knobs- although that was a fiasco.   These are new doors, and the old-style knobs that we selected were too small for the gigantic holes that are pre-cut in these doors.  And, of course, we couldn't find any modern-style doorknobs (that would fit the pre-cut knob holes) that we liked.  

So Mike had to fill the "new" door knob holes by cutting circles out with his saw.  He then drilled a hole in the center for the hardware to go through.  He used wood glue to secure the circular wood piece in the hole.  Once dry, we could install the knobs.  We need to do this on ALL of the doors that we have chosen the glass knobs for (total of 5- master bath, master closet, laundry room, attic storage & the hall closet)

The last part needed was the circular plate (sometimes called rosette) that goes between the knob and the door, covering the patch.  

The local home improvement store didn't have enough of them, so we're on the hunt for one more!

I'm happy to be moving our winter coats down from our office, so that room can start to get straightened up!
