I've been working on an A&C Style Door, and door trim for awhile now, and finally have it just about done. A few nuclear power plant outages, winter, and some other minor things got in the way.
The door required some form of trim. The walls in our 1919 house have some interesting "character". In this case the wall is 1 1/4" out of plumb along the height of the door jam, and the left, and right door jams are about 3/4" out of being in the same plane. This is the original exterior wall of the house. An addition was added in 1981, and this being a load bearing wall, and the wall our stairwell is on, I was limited in what I could do with it.
I've tried to achieve some form of a Limbert/ Greene & Greene style to the door, and the trim work, and add a little Nouveau influence. Kinda haughty I know, but we gotta get our influence from somewhere, right? ;)
The first two pic's are of the door jam prior to the start. The rest are of the completed project.
Thank's for looking, any and all comments welcome.
