Hidden Door for Office Closet Ordered

I may have already mentioned this, but we are putting a hidden door in the office to get into the walkin closet. This is not so much a security item as a way to better utilize the space.

The door will be similar to the one pictured at right with the following changes: 10" deep shelves with a 1/2" lip on the front edge, no crown molding, trimmed to match that going in the remainder of the house. The door will be in stainable clear white pine. It will swing inward on the left side (as viewing) using a milspec full length hinge.

The door will take ~6 weeks to build and ship, so we anticipate delivery in August.

The URL for the company is; http://www.hideadoor.com/ .

There are as many option and possibilities as your pocketbook can bare.

We plan on finishing the door in line with the doors and woodwork. At this point we are leaning toward oiled finishes, e.g. Tung Oil for light colored finish areas, and Danish Oil for those areas where a darker color is desired.

We may use a combination in the great room as the pine ceiling liner will be Tung and the Glulam beams Danish.
