Another 'Emily' Door

About a month ago, my Canadian friend Emily was in town and we did some door hunting together. I showed you a couple of the doors we deemed to be 'Emily Doors', but here is one you haven't seen yet. (For those of you who don't know, Emily is 5 feet 3 inches tall and while visiting, she chose a few doors that pleased her not only because of their looks, but because of their size: her size!!)

According to the plaque on this Emily Door, this is the 'back house' (zadni dum) though I honestly can't imagine where the front house is given the location of this door. Mystery! Oh well, that bit of mystery just adds to the door's beauty and charm.

You have to love the mail slot and the other door accessories.

Since we couldn't actually go through this door, I did my best to take a picture through the keyhole...

P.S. Thanks Em! Miss you!

An 'Emily' Door

And here we are, back to Friday so I thought I would show you another 'Emily' door (if you don't know who Emily is, please see my post of Friday 9 April). When you first see this door all by itself, you might think that it is quite big...but now look at it with Emily in front of it - remember, Emily is about 5 feet 3 inches tall.

Isn't it cute? This would definitely not be the door for a tall person! Well, at least one that has a tendency to forget to duck his head when passing through it!

The door isn't very ornate, but it does have a nice inlaid flower/star design and the wood is light and inviting. Finally, the door accessories pass my 'test'...they have character and to me that counts for a lot!

An 'Emily' Door

When my dear Canadian friend Emily was visiting Prague (where she used to live and work) recently she was kind enough to go door hunting with me. When we came upon this door and another one very similar to it (which I will post later), Emily, who is about 5 feet 3 inches tall, was delighted...the doors were just her size! Thus, they were immediately deemed - by us - 'The Emily Doors'!! Thanks, Em!! Miss you!!

This door is all smiles!

Simple but Lovely

Once again, I have been charmed by a door's accessory. And once again, it is the little grill that is used for chatting through the door. Normally, I am charmed by a door's handle, but it seems that lately I have been coming across more doors with a 'chatting grill' and I have to say that I have been charmed by nearly every 'chatting grill' (is there an official term for this thing?) I have seen. Sure, this door is lovely and very respectable (but maybe a bit dark in colour) and even if you don't go to look at it from up close, you would probably say it is a nice door. However, I am convinced that if you do go up to it and check out the chatting grill, you'll come to the same conclusion as I did - that it is a very nice door!!

Charming

I like this door a lot. When I came across it, it called out to me. I had to photograph it and I had to share it. No, there's nothing terribly special about it, but it does have character and charm. It is simple yet inviting and it has nice accessories.

Call me superficial, but I have to say that the little grill (for chatting through the door) above the mail slot, sealed the deal for me....isn't it just so pretty?
