Natural Beauty: Gorgeous, Unpainted Wood Doors
Make a statement with the rich character and natural grain of wood doors
I live in a loft in Brooklyn, a recent transplant to Greenpoint (love my neighborhood!). I work as a freelance writer, blogger, stylist, gilder, and crafter. I curate a daily personal lifestyle blog called the Haystack Needle (http://www.thehaystackneedleonline.com). I'm also one half of the shop Cabin 7 (http://www.shopcabin7.com) — a collection of gilded objects for the home. I started out in magazines, working in the home department of Real Simple magazine and later worked as the home editor of Redbook. I love to scout cool finds for the home — everything from an amazing loveseat to a green laundry detergent that really works. I'm a new mama to our baby girl, Juniper, who amazes me every day with her curiosity for life and big smiles.

When I fantasize about owning a home someday, I often think about finding some charming fixer-upper with gorgeous wooden doors throughout the house. Maybe it's because I've spent so many years living in rentals with cheap hollow-core doors. Some may dream about kitchen islands or clawfoot tubs, but I'm in love with wood doors, unpainted so you can appreciate their natural wood grain. See what I mean next.

The curved top of this wooden door only adds to its charm. I picture this doorway to a bedroom in a sweet New England cottage.
| This sliding wood door is way more than a functional way to separate the dining room from the living room. It's a gorgeous element in the space. The dark wood and the paned glass add tons of character. |
I love this idea. The sliding wood door is made of unstained reclaimed wood, and it's set against a wall paneled with the same reclaimed wood. So this barn door blends in, making the wall and door look like one visual element.

This unstained wood door was custom-built and inspired by barn doors. It feels less like a barn door since it's hinged to the doorway rather than being a sliding door.

| This is my dream door: a rustic barn-inspired door (that slides!) in a modern, updated space. This sliding barn door adds personality and a rustic modern style to the space. A standard white door in this room would have looked ho-hum. Tip: Barn doors that run from floor to ceiling help make the ceilings appear taller, much like curtains that are hung just below the ceiling and graze the floor. |

This Dutch door adds country charm to the space. And opening the top of the door keeps the kitchen from feeling isolated and adds more of an open floor-plan feel.

| French doors are often white, but here's an example of unpainted French doors. The dark wood makes the doorways stand out. |

What a welcoming entrance! The dark wood of this door contrasts with the light colors in the hallway. I love how the square-shaped panes of glass let in so much light.

The rich dark wood and architectural detail on these wood doors is not something you see every day. Contrasting against the white trim, these doors make a statement.

These sliding wood doors open up the living space of this house and complement the hardwood floors. What a dramatic entrance to a room!
