Back Bedroom: Part 4 - Door, Window, Brick, Oh My!

The back bedroom project included a new back door and a new window for the bedroom. Over the course of a weekend Nick put several different stains on the door per a formula given to us by the window company to try to closely match the color of our interior mahogany trim. He also got one or two coats of polyurethane on the door, which we knew was not enough, but with a shortage of time it would have to do for the moment.

First coat.	A subsequent coat--black stain.
Oooh...	Ahhh!

Outlets were wired into the new wall, which was then insulated and drywalled. Next, the window and door were swiftly installed. I previously primed and painted the brick mold for the door and trim for the new window.

Window, outlets, drywall.	New door. New window.

A mason bricked up the void and did some needed tuck-pointing around existing bricks in the same area.

Good-bye holes under the door!	Welcome back, ol' gal!

Sure, you can tell that the area was patched, but as I write to you from the future, be assured that it will fade to more closely match the other brick. I think a black lace elderberry bush would nicely camouflage the spot  (foreshadowing).
