Front door installation and interior trim
by brae
I glued the front door in place, making sure it was level and centered in relation to the portico. I then added the supplied interior trim, painted Vintage White by Folk Art. I used spackling to fill in any gaps and touched up the paint. To finish the threshold, I used a small piece of quarter round trim stained Minwax English Chestnut to match the floor.

The trim had broken at some point, but I left it as is for installation. Just a hint of the break is still visible in the photo above, so I might go back and work on that some more.

To hold the acrylic insert in the upper arch, I glued in a small strip of bass wood painted to match (shown here unpainted). This should offer enough stability to keep it from falling backwards as it is apt to do. :\
It does show a little from the outside looking in, but it's not glaringly obvious. It just looks like a structural part of the door.

Of course, I am totally kidding. Splendid, as always.
