A Goldilocks Door


Today was a big door hunting day for me and I found lots of wonderful doors to share with you. For me, the hardest part of this blog is choosing WHICH door to show you and WHEN! I've decided to save the really good doors for special occasions so today I will share one that is neither the simplest nor the richest...it is 'just right' for today...so much so that we could call it a Goldilocks door!!

This big, old, warm door has character, but not so much that it oozes it. It has nice, unique handles, a simple yet lovely wood carving that ornates the separation of the two parts of the door and nice iron work on the terrace over the door.

This door is, in my opinion, just right for this middle day of the week! What do you think?

Saturday/Sunday Door



Saturday/Sunday Door? What kind of door is that? Well, normally, on Saturday I show you a 'Sad' Door and on Sunday, I show you a church door...well, today, since I have a million things to do in our garden (while the weather is FANTASTIC), I'm doing a double post: a 'Sad Church Door' (yes, this was a side door).

Can you imagine the sadness this poor door feels for not being a door anymore? OK, so the door itself is no longer there, but it once was and the frame is still there...waiting. Just like the angels that are still watching over over it. Watching and waiting. And waiting...for someone to go through a door that isn't there.

A (late-posted) Friday Funny Door


I've shown you numerous styles of doors (art nouveau, art deco, industrial, modern, etc.) as well as doors of various themes (rams, white boots, reclining lady, etc.). Here is a door that I find humorous. I can only imagine that the 'address' over the door is recent and was done out of a certain fondness for the old way of finding a house/address.

Look closely at what is over the door...what do you see?

Yes! A dragon!!
