We recently were able to find one store that had several things that we needed for the new house: doors, a few sheets of drywall, linoleum for our bathroom, and a bathtub for the kid's bathroom. We had been waiting for most of these items we wanted to buy to be available in the store so that we only had to pay for one delivery truck.
If it wasn't so frustrating it would be funny how sometimes trying to buy simple things like door handles can be more than difficult. We tried on four or five attempts to buy the handles, and other components (which are all sold separately now) at one time so they would all match.
I had found this beautiful handle which I loved in antique bronze.
I had tried and tried to find another variant that I liked but every time we went to buy them, the stores didn't have all of the necessary parts for all the doors we needed to buy handles for.
Finally, after waiting a bit longer, we were able to order everything we needed.
And, I was able to have THE door handle I originally wanted!
Now, my hubby and I have a door AND a bedroom to call our own - almost as good as Christmas!
Amen! Haha! We know the feeling. Renovations continue for us.... and continue.... and continue! We we moved in about 4 years ago we had no door for awhile too! And only subfloor, no flooring of any type.
ReplyDeleteThose doors look like a Japanese make. Are they "Noda" brand by chance? ;) They look similar to ours!
Well, always an encouragement to know someone else has been doing renovations for four years...I think!? :) We were grateful to find some cheap linoleum that I actually like to put down in the bedrooms and room we are using as a living room now. Then we put a little piece here and a little piece there with what was left. :) The doors are not Noda brand but if yours are the same thin and cheap ones like ours then they probably just have different names for different countries. :) There are not many doors to pick from around here! Two variants: cheap or super expensive and not much better made than the cheap ones. We can get real wood here now but also kind of pricey when you are talking about a whole house!
