So here I was feeling smug about my recent find at the local Goodwill thrift shop. An all wood armoire, purchased for my art studio/office. I even paid to have it delivered. Sunday the men arrive with armoire in tow, it comes up the step and then I realize that the mitered trim moulding on the top and bottom make it impossible to fit through the pocket door, which is barely 22 inches wide. Armoire is 24 inches plus wide. I really like it and want it in my studio.
I have been toying with tearing out pocket door ever since I moved in three years ago. I could not have a treasured old desk from my grandparents in the office due to the evil door.
As a result the $129 dollar piece of furniture is going to cost me a few more dollars, yeah, right, a full day of labor and a huge mess and I still think it is worth it, to have a real doorway that is 28 inches wide and will allow anything but a sofa in the office space.
I have a friend who can do almost any kind of construction, repairs, and he says it is an easy task. I trust him. Why are you laughing?
