Coolest Closet Doors I've Seen!

I was doing an inspection today in Fauntleroy & I ran into these woven closet doors. They were simply the most gorgeous closet doors that I've ever seen. The home was built in 1932 & my best guess that these are the originals. These would cost a fortune to make today. (I'm sure they were hand made) I told the client I was going to make her closet door famous! If anyone has seen doors similar to these or knows if anyone manufactures anything close to this I would love to hear from you.

I have seen similar doors on the islands of O'ahu and Guam. They are cool looking doors.

Wow, those are very interesting - I've never seen anything like them. Thank you for posting!

Maria- I have never been to Guam, but they do have a South Pacific look to them.

Lisa- Thank you for looking. I see a lot of strange, stranger & sometimes cool stuff. I guess I'll go with the motto....."Sharing is Caring" LOL

Those are FABULOUS - thanks for sharing and for taking the time to get pics.

I agree that they have a S. Pacific look to them, however I could see them working with many different decors / themes / styles as well. Someone must be making something similar, I'd be interested to see what people come up with here and post.

These would be super for a beach cottage or summer home - I'll be watching this one: anyone have ideas?

-Tim!

They sure are gorgeous.

Wow! Thanks for sharing, very cool. Never seen anything like them!

These are pretty interesting. Don't think have ever seen any like them and agree with you it likely would cost a lot to make them today. Thanks for sharing.

When I was a kid in the 50's / 60's, the next door neighbors had a woven fence -- Turn those doors sidways and they're dead ringers....

Tim- I agree in a beach house would be cool. All you see now a days is 6 panel, mirrored and flat. Maybe you had to be there and my pictures don't tell the whole story. This was a very simple home with out of this world closet doors.

Ashley-Yep

BethAnn- I agree! Want them in my house!

Bob & Carolin- Cost a lot? We are all in real estate. Business is booming right? I thought money grew on trees! (until 2 years ago) LOL

Bob W- My first memories start in the 70's. ( nice rhyme) Never seen anything like this and I have been in thousands of homes.

I know they would be expensive but I think there would be a market in some of these custom homes. Very nice.

Carl & Ceil- I agree. I think there would be a market for these in custom homes.
