Which Craftsman Are YOU?

So you are buying Crossmore doors (from Lynden Door, see below) for your new Craftsman home and you are excited about finding a door that is such an authentic addition to your decor. But, as much as you are confident that your interior doors will be within the aesthetic, you aren't exactly sure which category of Craftsman or Arts & Craft architecture and design your home falls into.

Arts & Crafts and the Revival magazine has a terrific resource for this. See their online article at: http://artsandcraftshomes.com/category/house-styles/ This excellent piece has descriptions and photos that will help you nail down your precise architectural heritage.

Then you can decide what color to finish your Crossmore doors or perhaps opt to go with a rift sliced white oak flush veneer door instead, with a dark wipe-coat stain and a matte gloss finish for that patinaed look.

These doors and many other appropriate styles and finishes are available through your Lynden Door representative.
