What interior doors are you using in your 'new old home'?
Comments (22)We're putting a new second floor on our old home, and are using 4-panel doors in a 2 -over-2 arrangement, with square sticking. They look simple & relatively timeless to me. One place we are saving money is the hardware. I love Emtek knobs but can't justify the price (door knobs are something I can change easily down the road, not so much for plumbing fixtures, the doors themselves, and flooring). So we're going with Kwikset in matte black - they feel better than Schlage (less jiggly) and are pretty inexpensive. My logic is to splurge on items I can't easily replace & for items I can swap out later (in a couple years) I'm choosing things I like so I can afford to LOVE the other things....See MoreNew Bluestar elec wall oven vs New Viking french door wall oven

Comments (4)I think you can and should do the taller baseboard molding. It will look better than small. We are doing ours right now too and I have the same issue. I am actually doing a 5”. baseboard....See MoreWill new grey doors look good with old white cabinets
Comments (2)Does any of the white show when the doors/drawers are closed? If not, then mismatched doors/boxes are fine. If you have exposed cabinet sides or backs then you should stick with white....See MoreMags438
