Trying to make decisions when building a house, is very progressive. Take for example, the closet doors that we just installed in the master bedroom. At first, Stefan figured that we were just going to install those cheap mirrored sliding doors. That was not at all what I envisioned, so we decided to go with french doors, so we could completely open up the closet and walk in. With that on our minds, Stefan was asking a friend that has door/building experience where we could find french doors for our closet and he advised that we should definately get louvered doors for the closet, in order to encourage airflow and avoid moisture/mildew issues in the closet (something that is very important when living in a humid tropical climate).

Great. So not only do we need to figure out where to get french doors for the closet, now they have to be louvered….

So Stefan and I wandered aimlessly trying to find closet doors for quite a few weeks. Finally, we decided that we had enough and that we would just go to Home Depot and get whatever the hell they had in stock, so we could move on. After pulling out, inspecting and discussing every door we could find in Home Depot, I happened upon an endcap display that had these super cheesy fake wood (plastic) bi-fold louvered doors. I called Stefan over and told him that these would be PERFECT if they were made out of wood. Instead of having big french door opening into the master bedroom (which, in hindsight, would have been space consuming and annoying), the bi-fold doors, simply fold neatly to the side, saving space. Long story short…We found louvered bi-fold doors for the closet that were made out of mahogany!

We stained the doors and had Jerry help us install them, since we didn’t really know what we were doing.

How many Puerto Ricans does it take to install closet doors?

Just one! Thanks Jerry!

Something as simple as closet doors, makes a huge difference in the master bedroom.

Going…

Going…

Gone!

Yay for progress!
