Music Room Doors

I have to say that I don't know what kind of mood to be in on these mysterious music room doors. I've finally got some pictures because our artist/fabricator/?? Mark started to put the doors in this past week. They look great and they're really going to be the show pieces we're hoping for. But, they're not done. I don't know... it's always "back at it tomorrow" type of thing. Well, who knows now. I mean it's not that big of a deal and it's only been a few days, but man, I wish we'd just get these done.

Here's where we're at.



I'll post more pics once these are done. Essentially, we've got two sliding doors, both of which are installed, and a fixed panel (in the third picture), which hasn't been installed yet.

Each panel is made up a combination of oil rubber Doug Fir (panels from the old house), frosted Plexiglass and Lumicor panels. I have to give a big shout out to Ryan, our architect for pulling together the design on these. We talked a lot about how to create an open room that would be inviting, but also incorporate something that could close the room off and dampen the noise. We considered drapes, but ultimately chose this sliding door design. Ann and I choose the specific Lumicor panel (silver spun) that we thought resembled guitar string running through the plexiglass. Ryan then incorporated the wood and plexiglass for a nice contrast and design where each panel is different, but the same.

Well, after many months, it's come together and it's nearly there. I'm hopeful it will be complete in the next couple days. We'll get some paint on the walls and the guitars hung (got the hangers ordered tonight) and we'll have a pretty kick-ass room.
