Screen Door – Dining Room
I found a screen door! And wouldn’t ya know it, it was RIGHT under my nose this whole time. I was making one of a million trips out my back door yesterday, and it hit me. (Not literally) we already own a chippy, old screen door! It was hanging on the outside of the wood door that leads outside right there. Duh!
So remember my temporary “door”?
Well, behind that curtain lurked this:
Until I realized we had this:
So we put it here:
… and then put up that picture ledge I’ve been talking about adding:
So, here’s the space…in all it’s un-accessorized, un-colorful glory…
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go play with the screen door. It magically squeak-licious!

The board laying flat across the beadboard is a 1×8. I routed the edges of it to give it a more “finished” look.
Then just attach it to the wall, counter-sink the screws, fill them with caulk, prime and paint.
Next I attached a pre-primed 1×4 (for the pictures to rest on) by drilling down into the top of the 1×8. I also used wood glue for extra adhesion.
I caulked the crack between the two boards for a more seamless look, then and painted everything white two more times.Can’t wait to get some photography up there!

That reminds me of when I was watching “House Hunters” one time and one of the bedrooms had a screen door on it and the lady was like, “What is this?” and the realtor said, “They must have a cat.” (I guess to keep the cat out of the baby’s room?)
That was in the South, too, I remember…which would make alot of sense, since you have much warmer weather down there for much longer…and it’s hard to get a cross breeze with all of the doors closed…I thought it was a brilliant idea!
It will be cool to see how your pantry turns out…and you will also get a cross breeze since you have a door in there, too
I like your table
