Cellar doors
I might end up putting in a flickering unit for the cellar lights and fireplaces, so I needed to plan ahead for an accessible place to hide the circuit board just in case. I figured a set of working cellar doors that allow access to the unit would be just the thing. And, who doesn't think old cellar doors are creepy? My inspiration comes from Jeremy's design for the beautiful Tudor he is currently building, though I built mine out of foam core board, wood scraps and egg carton bricks. The paint is aged in the same manner as the house. The hinges come with bright brass nails, so I dabbed paint on them after assembly. I added a rusty paint wash around the hardware to age the wood. I like that the doors ended up a bit warped.
