Colourful Door Monday

Monday!! Eye candy day!! Well, I try to make every day (except Saturday) eye-candy day, but Mondays are special because there is always a colour to look forward to!! I think we all have liked all the colours, but red does seem to be a favourite. This nice door was recently repainted and I think the designs on it were also worked on at the same time. It appears that they changed the handle though...to something less than exciting. Oh well, we can't have it all now, can we?!

Ladies in Waiting

I don't know why, but I saw this door and the two naked ladies sitting there above it and I thought: 'what on earth are they waiting for?' The way they are sitting there under a sort of eve, makes it look as if they are waiting for the rain to stop, but surely at some time during the last 90 years the rain has stopped long enough for them to hop down and run home, or put on a dress or do whatever they set out to do when they left home.

You know, if I was one of those ladies, I would have hopped down from that roost a long time ago...at least to go take a look at the door below or to smack upside the head whoever it was that put the stickers on the windows and installed such an eyesore of a handle! (Note: the handle was so ugly I didn't even bother to take a close-up photo of it...absolute rubbish!!) I must say though that the rest of the door and especially the windows are fabulous. Granted, there is a bit of wear and tear to the door and it is in need of a cleaning and a coat of varnish, but the beveled glass that makes up the patchwork of windows is spectacular and the three etched windows above the door are endearing.
