A little over a year ago this was what my library looked like. At least, this is what one wall of my library looked like.

It feels like it was a LONG time ago when it looked like this.

Now it looks like this!

Hmmm…

Let’s see those doors from a different angle.

These were beautiful doors; wooden with glass window panes. The paint was all chipped. And they had placed long pieces of acrylic over the back sides of the glass panes. I’m not sure if they were to block the view into the basement, keep kids/pets from scratching/breaking the glass, or for whatever other reason they might have had.

I definitely like the look of the wood doors better. It warms the room up a bit.

We have lived without the doors on this doorway for over a year, so now we’re trying to get used to having them back on there.

I made my deadline of Thanksgiving, though.

That whole wall has been a LOT of work, but I’m mostly happy with how it has turned out.

All it took was a little perseverance and a LOT of elbow grease!
