Renovating a bathroom typically limits choices for shower doors to glass, acrylic, or fiberglass. However, Leanne Ford showcased an alternative by installing a refurbished steel door in her farmhouse renovation. She and her designer, Grace Mitchell, found the door at a junk yard and felt an immediate connection to it. Their renovation included additional soulful swaps like updating the tile and hardware. This transformation not only personalized the space but also provided a cozy, inviting atmosphere instead of adhering to contemporary designs.
From trash to treasure!! Ford captioned a recent Instagram post sharing how she and her designer friend Grace Mitchell opted to install a refurbished steel door in the shower of their Round Top, Texas, farmhouse renovation.
Grace and I stumbled on this old salvaged door, buried under a pile of others at Jardin De France in Round Top, TX. One knowing glance is all it took - we both knew it had to become the shower door at our 'Round The Round' project.
A fresh coat of paint, Tadelakt right over the existing tile, and unlaquered brass hardware later... suddenly the whole space feels warmer, more welcoming, and entirely ours.
This trash-to-treasure door hack is a great alternative to glass doors that look too modern for a homey space.
