Door Stop

A whole page on a door stop?

Like everything else around here, a lot went into these. We actually bought three or four different styles of door stops and mocked them up before settling on this kind.

We considered everything from function, aesthetic, vacuum cleaner interference, to toe stubbing.

When we finally figured out what we wanted, we could only find it online and they cost $16. We only ordered one to be sure it was right.

Due to the span of our trim and door project, Home Depot started selling the door stops - at half the price.

So supply is cheap(er) and plentiful, but we only needed four.

They won at the selection because they're magnetic (holds the doors from breezes slamming them shut) and spring loaded (softens the blow from whatever slamming them open).

So much effort for a door stop, you'd think we were nuts for considering selling this house and buying a different one.
