Lofty project

We have decided to work top to bottom for finishing projects. That means getting the loft dirty, dusty but complete.

We worked on the storage door covers (refered to as hatch covers also). There are 4 - 2 on each side of the loft. This storage space is great for items that are needed only a few times a year & once we start to condense our boxes, we should have enough left over space to install some built-in-drawers in the next few years.

Phil framed in the holes with the knotty pine we used on the ceiling, but I liked the look of the stain we used on the fir doors, so I put on a light coat of stain before a thick coat of varathane.

Gives it a bit of the old farm house look....

(as you can see, my storage space is already crammed with items that have to be either donated else where or find a proper home in the living space....)




I love the finished look! We had some left-over cabinet handles from the kitchen that we installed onto the doors & once they were dry, we popped them in place, with a small wood latch to keep the doors from popping out of the holes.
