Photo 1 - Garage doors when we bought the house.Photo 2 - Original garage door that Olivia paints the color of the shutters.
What happens next:
Olivia ruins the garage door by hitting it (not on purpose, really). It is a lawn ornament for several weeks and then Olivia gets to pick out a new ONE. She convinces Kjell that two doors would look better then one at minimal cost. Kjell agrees based on the fact that Olivia can no longer hog the garage when there are 2 garage doors.
Photo 3 - The center column is installed.
At this point Olivia realizes she is definitely putting form over function...the doors will look great but 8 feet is a narrow space to park a wide minivan. She knows her mirrors won't last long.
Photo 4 - Beautiful carriage-house style doors complete the New England style of the house (plus add light to the dungeon-like garage).
What do you think?
