The primed French door was moved down to the back bedroom where I'd previously sanded and primed the two doors down there (closet and entry).
Now both of the bedrooms on the first floor have reclaimed French doors, allowing lots and lots of light to spill down what was previously a dark and gloomy hallway. There is an older post showing how I'd sanded/primed the linen cabinet and drawers in the hall for even more for an open, airy feeling.
The solid door from the bedroom was moved to the bathroom, thus bumping the unprimed solid door from the bathroom down to storage in the basement. Now the hallway is just spilling over with light from the east and west bedrooms and the south-facing bathroom.Someday, when I'm done moving things around and priming, I may actually PAINT stuff. Someday. LOL
Meanwhile, I'm working away on the French door for upstairs. Stay tuned....

love the bright white woodwork and the very light hallway.
Speaking as someone who has a bedroom buried in the middle of the old farm house that has zero outside windows, I do appreciate the bright rooms you have!
I can't stand dark and gloom, so all the interior doors (except for closets and bathrooms) are now French doors. I also use a lot of mirrors to make rooms sparkle.
That is SO much better. Last year we had five dark wood doors painted white and it made a huge difference to the light levels. Still a few more to be done but that will wait until we get round to decorating the other end of the house.
It's amazing how much light a dark door can suck out from a room. Once I get everything primed, one year I may actually paint -- if I'm not outside. ;-D Glad your place is brighter too.
