Iowa weather has not been ideal for installing new window and door packages into our A-frame cabin in the hills. As a matter of fact, a tree near the cabin fell inches from the big sliding doors, almost demolishing them. Thankfully, the weather subsided enough for our window installers to do their thing, and get the biggest windows installed.
These made a huge difference to the esthetic already! We opted for a sliding glass door package due to the lack of space inside the cabin and outside on the patio. We did not want to worry about which way the door would swing on a French door package. I am so happy with our decision. Sliding glass doors have evolved and offer so many modern/sleek options. The door packages we chose have a very thin industrial frame and let in the most natural light! Sometimes function takes precedence when making important decisions like door packages. I’m so glad we thought about those inconveniences while making our decision, the doors couldn’t be more perfect for the space.
It is hard to tell in the pictures, but we went with a black metal frame for all window and door packages. It looks so sharp and blends into the dark wood tones of the cabin. We were in dire need of new windows and doors as the large windows had been broken and allowing weather, bugs, and critters into our living space. If you are new here, take a cabin TOUR HERE. Now that these window and door packages are buttoning up our cabin, we are able to move on with refinishing floors and setting our cabinets in the kitchen.
Things are going to start taking shape very quickly over here, I hope! Make sure to stop back for all the progress!
