crestview doors.







"custom mid-century and modern entries." when is saw these doors it spiraled me back to growing up in the 70's and the style that surrounded every move i made in that era. how great. captured by the design magazine atomic ranch, crestview doors stood out. they are those doors that used to be on homes and offices but not anymore...until now. located in austin texas crestview's story goes like this: "david and christiane erwin began the renovation of their mid-century home in 2005. they looked for a solid-wood door that would compliment the vintage aesthetic they were trying to recreate.

the design they wanted was on the house across the street, and on the home around the corner, but nowhere online or in any showroom. it seemed that the doors of the 50's were everywhere in the brentwood and crestview neighborhoods of austin, texas. but they were disappearing quickly as the 50-year-old homes succumbed to the heat, lack of care, or to remodeling.

david went to a neighbor's house on pasadena avenue and measured their door in order to create a reproduction. once built and installed, countless strangers knocked on the door of the erwin house and asked where the door came from. cavid realized that the he and christiane weren't the only ones looking for a crestview door." once you are on their site they have an interactive design guide page where you can pick your style, your finish, dimensions and other specifics. so...if you love the look of a vintage style door instead of all of the mass produced doors out there, head on over to crestview, you'll find it there!
