First Internal Door - Strawbale House Build in Redmond Western Australia
We found a lone solid pine internal door at our local auction house for $30 and decided this would be our first internal door. Installed into the cavity slider unit separating the open living/dining area from the guest wing corridor, it suits the character of the space far better than the conventional modern honeycomb internal doors we will have off our plasterboard corridors into bedrooms, office, laundry and bathrooms. But at this particular location, with the surrounding colonial-style brickwork and the lime-plastered straw walls in the rest of the room, we felt that a painted modern door wasn't going to cut it. I simply oiled the door, and we are enjoying its gnarly, knotty appearance. - Attached to the brick column in the foreground is a lovely handmade tealight holder given to us by our friends Richard and Ashley, who are also midway through a strawbale build. They made the tealight brackets out of op shop dessert spoons hammered flat – very cool!
