Show Practical Decorating Idea: Use Pine Panel Doors for Dividing Wall TTv f V FT m ii 1 H , ' J To most everyone, the only use for a door is a door. But to an imaginative home decorator, doors can be used in many other ways to beautify and enrich a house. The drawing shows one interesting inter-esting and practical new use for oanel doors of ponderosa pine. Three tall doors provide a movable mov-able dividing wall between a living room and dining area. The doors are hinged together with folding-screen hardware and suspended from a track attached at-tached to a fake ceiling beam. The result is a paneled "wall" that folds out of the way when it isn't needed. Panel doors are carried in stock by building material dealers. deal-ers. Since the doors come in clear, natural ponderosa pine, they can be stained or painted to match or harmonize with any interior decoration theme. Wood panel doors also are ideal as wall paneling. They can be installed by the average home handyman, since no special spe-cial tools or skill are needed for the job. The finished wall has the same beauty and richness as expensive custom - made wood paneling. Some other uses for panel doors as paneling include wain scoting in a dining room in which the doors are installed on their sides along the walls, and as paneling to give a drab, narrow hallway character and interest. |
