There are a few extra doors into some of the bedrooms. They were useful when you could afford to have servants to take care of your kids...
Needless to say, we can't afford that, don't need the extra door into the room, and the extra door just gets in the way. Here the extra door into the master bedroom has already been carefully removed so that all the trim, frame, and door are undamaged. Later I framed in the opening and patched the hole with sheet rock on both sides. It took some shimming to get the rock to line up with the existing wall and a fair amount of mud before I was satisfied. The finished result is also shown, including the first coat of paint. We still need to patch the missing baseboard and put on the final coat of paint. This color is also a historic color - it looks much better than what was there before...
