Fitting Interior Doors

I bought several reclaimed old pine doors from a warehouse nearby, and we first thought that they were beyond repair!  However, after several days of back breaking restoration work, repairs to missing pieces of wood, sanding, staining and waxing, we have decided to use them to put some character back into the cottage, rather than to use "new" doors from one of the DIY sheds.






I don't think any of the door frames are standard sizes, so they took quite a lot of refitting to make them work, but now with the victorian brass door knobs (ebay purchase) cleaned and fitted they look very nice.
