    side of the door. Conifers in the containers would probably work well with the surrounding garden.

    You have a beautiful home! Another suggestion - goggle Plascon visualiser. There is a free download which enables you to use photographs of the house, together with their color chart, so that you can try different colors to see which will work best. It is a much simpler method than photoshop. This will at least enable you to play!

  • Our barn doors after assembling them from old oak barn floor boards.  They are each 6' wide and 8' tall.  The old floor boards came this clean simply with a 3000 psi power washing.
  • We were a little anxious to put them where they belonged - here we have them sitting in the door opening before the roof was even up! :) 1
  • We put a coat of Kilz on the edges - then painted the trim black and stained the interior portions of the door.
