We've been in need of a new door for the new house since the old one is broken. It's there, but it has been kicked in and is structurally un-sound. Everything is on a tight budget for this project(s) so where do you think I looked first for a new front door? You got it. Craigslist.
We picked this beaut up last week in South Charlotte from a guy who bought it from his doormaker friend, but decided he couldn't use it. It is a solid oak door with beautiful detail molding and is worth over $1,000! We got it for $150.00! Praise God! Now, all we have to do is sand it, stain it dark and get the hardware and we'll be in business. Finished product to come once we can figure out how to remove the stubborn lacquer...
And I'm so excited about my other craigslist purchase! I picked this baby up for $20.00 last night! I can just see Greta giggling in it with all of her princess books and "tolors" in the shelf below.
Which makes me one step closer to this....:)

You have chosen such a beautiful kitchen as your inspiration. I can't wait to see what you do with the door. Isn't there a liquid sander you can get? I thought I saw that somewhere.
