Today, we hung the mechanical room doors. These solid fir doors are 2 1/4 inches thick with 10 gauge steel gears and filigree bands. They weigh more than 200 lbs. each, they look great… and they installed like a dream too!
The mechanical room doors have received their final coats of stain and it is almost time to install them. But, before we do, we want to take the opportunity to paint the shutters for the windows on either side of the doors. The doors are solid fir and the shutters are high density urethane — but, by the time we are finished painting, our guests won’t be able to tell the difference!
With the North Star suite’s sleeping quarters ready for plaster, it is time to start buttoning up the sitting room tower!
The North Star’s bedroom is almost ready for its sculpted concrete wood interior. It won’t take long to attach the wire lathe and then the magic happens!
The North Star suite’s bedroom features sideboards that wrap around the room — curving to follow the line of windows. Rather than using a standard bed, we chose to build the headboard into the wall — it also echo’s the eyebrow shape of the room’s ceiling.
The ceiling in the North Star suite’s bedroom is all blocked in. We chose an eyebrow shape for the ceiling to complement the room’s tapered shape. You can also see the curved curtain rods that follow the ceiling’s shape in the picture below.
