Old Doors



So I bought old doors. 
Heavy old doors. 
The blue one has six intact window panes in it.

They are heading to our booths. 
One day. 
When my shoulder recovers from lifting pine trees:}


By the time you read this Joe and I will be on the road. 
I will tell you our destination later.

joy and peace

  7. Nice!
    I found the easiest way to create that finish! Are you ready? Sit down.
    OK.
    Leave them in the front yard in the sun for a year. Yup. Nature. Plus, I was too lazy to bring them in earlier.
    Just today I finished decoupaging the chips I want to stay on the doors. I have 15 to fuss with, which are becoming pocket doors.
    Dead flat matte finish and they're integrity is PERRRRRFECT!
    I love those. Think we could trade? I'll make a chippy white one for you. Or one that's chipping white with yellow chippies underneath, on a ebony colored door?
    [wheedle..]
    Where ARE you going!?

  16. Olive -- I know what you mean about your shoulder recovering lol. We bought an old door for our backdoor (replaced in the 50's or 60's with a crappy door of the times) -- it is solid oak with the exception of the full beveled glass and that sucker is heavy, lol. I also took an old door from in our house (1920's craftsman style) and made the greatest desk top for my study with it. I really dig old doors :)

    Blessings!

    P.S. I haven't been a visitor in a long time -- enjoyed the visit :)

  17. Sooooooooooooooo pretty. I wish Tim liked this sort of stuff - but you know he is great in so many other ways - I just go with it. :)

    I am stiff and sore but that is because I've switched from winter treadmill-weight-maintenance workouts to summer let's-lose-weight workouts...
