Colourful Door Monday

Yes, I know, it's almost Tuesday, but I'm sneaking in under the wire on this!!

This door isn't extraordinary, but I do like it...especially the colour. It is small and could even be considered an 'Emily' door...look how high up the handle is! I don't know, this just seems like a nice, happy little door...it would make me happy to come home to this every day.

Hello Pretty Blue Door!!

Colourful Doors

And yes, a grouping of a few of the colourful doors. No pink or purple doors....I haven't seen any of either of those colours here yet, but you can bet if I do, I'll share it/them with you!

Colourful Door Monday

Green!! Like Summer! Like grass and leaves! Green is good!

I think this is a happy, pleasant door and I especially like it's unusual shape (not squared) and the interesting windows above it. Ok, so otherwise it is rather simple, but the green sure gives it extra value and I imagine that originally the glass in the windows was more interesting...stained glass? or beveled? or frosted/decorated? Who knows. I just regret that the handle is so unoriginal!

Colourful Door Monday

Well, once upon a time this door was colourful!! Despite this poor door's lack of love and a fresh coat of paint, I still like it's colour and it does have charm and character. I especially like how the double windows are the same shape as the one large window overhead in the door's frame. And the door's frame...it seems to have faired far better than the door itself...the only thing that I wonder about is whether the window over the door originally had a different kind of glass in it...stained glass window or maybe beveled glass? It just seems to me that the glass there now is too plain; too normal for the rest of the door and frame...but maybe I'm wrong. As for this door's accessories, I'm not showing you a close-up of the handle because, as you can see well enough from the second picture...it just isn't worth mentioning and the person who chose it had zero imagination and not even an ounce of creativity. Too bad...this door deserves something nice. I wonder what it's original handle looked like.

NEW FEATURE!! 'Your Doors'

Starting today, on the last day of each month I will feature doors that have been photographed and sent to me by readers of this blog. This new monthly post will be called 'Your Doors' and everyone is welcome to submit their favourite door photo(s) at the email address to the right.

To start off this new 'feature' and in keeping with my Monday 'Colourful Door' theme, I will post 3 - yes T H R E E (!) colourful doors all sent to me by Malyss who lives in France and has a wonderful blog about benches. Please be sure to visit and follow her blog at: Benches on My Way. As you will see, Malyss is to benches what I am to doors!! I'm sure you will enjoy her blog as much as I do.

Malyss took these pictures while visiting the city of Lyon (France). Thank you so much Malyss for sharing your door discoveries!! I love all the door pictures that you sent to me and hope that you will forgive me for not being able to post them all at one time!!

A nice cool blue that calms and soothes. The little door/window above the door is fabulous! How original...I have never seen one of these before!! In comparison to this window, a little peephole in the door is sooo boring!! This window allows you to stick your whole head out and get a good look at who is in front of your door...and if the are hiding a bouquet of flowers for you behind their back!!

Pink! Another first! And to think they even painted part of the drain pipe the same pink. Notice that the window next door is also pink! I love it! Maybe Inspecteur Clouseau (however his name is spelled!) lives here!

This is another great colour and what a wonderful, big solid door it is, complete with a metal kick plate at the bottom to protect the door from careless feet.
