That door was an upcycle from the porch remodel. It is the original back door off the house.
and is over 30 years old. It is also ugly!
We found a 15 pane single french door at one of our favorite second hand stores, Hidden Treasures in Elgin SC. It was the right price so we snagged it.
It was the correct width but a little tall.
so we cut it down to fit the She Shed.
Fortunately when we pulled the old door off we saw a few deck boards that needed to be replaced.
Mr. RTI is an amazing builder but window repair not so much. Red Green would be so proud! He could be an honorary member of the Possum Lodge with that duct tape application. Luckily he is the one that broke the window and gladly went the extra mile to replace it.
The windows in the shop are also from a home remodel . We decided to take the bottom window out of the opposite window, hidden by the Red Honey suckle , and install it to the left of the door. The most light comes through that window. And drop in some exterior wall board in place of the window.
This was also the perfect opportunity to refresh with some exterior weather beater white paint.
I think I will leave the door the off color. It will match the same theme at the Green house.
I mean who wants to paint around all of those windows!
If you live in the area check out Hidden Treasures in Elgin on Main Street and a second location on Green Hill road in Elgin.
Happy Thrifting!
