New Home? New Door Hardware
We had just moved in to a new place and we were happy to get settled in when we noticed something awful. All of the door hardware in this place was rotting. The door hinges made a disgusting noise when you opened or closed the doors. It seemed like a complete disaster and for a couple of days it was. We immediately got to work finding replacements for every piece of door hardware in the house in the house. At first we thought we would only replace the door hardware that were most affected by the wear and tear of age. But after some inspection plus some digging for great deals at an online hardware store we decided we would start our new life in a our new home completely fresh.
Putting on new door hinges, door knobs, and door locks is easy. All you need is a power screw driver and the right hinges! When we got to looking at our new doors with new door hardware we were so proud of our choices. Each door has it's own personality while honoring the personality of the house that we were hoping to cultivate. It is amazing how much putting on some brand new door locks and handles can make a place seem brand new. We loved the place when we decided to move in but once we made these small renovations it truly felt like it belonged to us.
Doors can really make a home. I recall in my youth not actually having a door for some time. When I finally got a door with a door lock on my bedroom it changed everything for me. I was happy to have my own space and I was also glad that I now had a door that matched the rest that lined the hallway. I also loved just being able to take that mahogany door and slam it closed, keeping me and my private time away from the prying eyes of my family.
As an adult I think of doors and door hardware differently. They are no longer a way to keep my family out, now they are a way in. My family loves our new house with it's door knobs on every room. We are so happy to be living in such a great place. And we are really happy to have unloaded all of those rotting nasty door hardware. Now that we live in a place with some well crafted doors we plan to stay put for a while!
