Restoring Vintage, Antique & Salvaged Doors

Vintage and antique doors add so much charm and personality to our homes. Doors can be restored to their original state or repurposed to create a unique design feature in your home.

The sentimentality of the original front door and its authentic design contribute to the character of your home. Whether its a Victorian or Mid-century home, many steps are typically needed to restore your door to its original beauty. Often, filling, stripping and sanding are necessary to prepare the surface. Sometimes resizing or sourcing replacement hardware, new or vintage, is also required. Lastly, the door is ready to receive its new custom colour and finish.

Antique or vintage doors can be modified to fit your space and creatively add interest to your home. An entry closet, kitchen pantry or library are all great examples for incorporating salvaged doors. Often, we work with The Door Store to customize heritage doors for our clients. Modifying doors for adaptive use means endless possibilities and saves these beauties from today’s landfill.

Beautiful doors can become art. Designers often like to hang salvaged doors directly on the wall. An antique door may not be the perfect fit for your doorway, however, you can still enjoy its beauty by introducing it into your decor!
