Open and Shut Case

Kidtropolis Doors

Your kiddo’s credo? Knock and the door shall be opened.

No wonder she aspires to be an Avon lady/vacuum salesperson/Jehovah’s Witness.

Keep that dream on the hinges with custom doors by Kidtropolis. Inspired by traditional Dutch design, the Virginia-made, sturdy birch doors split in half horizontally and double as child gates (a sliding lock keeps everything in check). As playful as they are functional, designs feature a minidoor built into the bottom half that allows tots to crawl inside.

Custom options are limitless: Choose from round or square edges and primed or fully painted finishes. For a real treat, order a door embellished with a cheery garden or fantastic castle. Names, initials, or other personalized elements can be added for an extra fee.

Now you’re all ready to hob-knob.
