The doors are beautiful! All 64 of them. It has been many months since we selected the doors for the interior so when they arrived today, it was very exciting to see them again. The exterior doors were purchased from Architectural Traditions and are made to look old. These copper/green/brown doors are being used in order that they fit secure and add protection from the weather. This was a decision I made for function over esthetics. The only exterior door that is antique is the front door. This door and all the interior doors were purchased from sources all over the world including Mexico, Central and South America. Our source in El Paso helped us find many of these doors. Each is unique and varies in size, color, type of wood and style. It is a challenge for the trim contractor to make door frames to fit each of these. It is also a challange to create a placement door schedule that works in the overall design plan. Because each door is different, it is important to place them in groups so they companion with one another in color and style. This is one of the design features that sets this home apart. How many times have you been in a home where every door is different yet fits the design?
