When one door closes.......

You do like I do and buy a new one!!! I was out and about today doing the not so fun things, like taking my mom's dog to the groomer, taking my son to get his permit....Yikes!.....when I spotted a little sign with an arrow. Being as it was only Tuesday, I was intrigued.

Closer inspection revealed that the sign was pointing towards a "Warehouse Sale" and it was just a couple of blocks away. WooHoo. First item that I spotted was this sweet door with a hefty price tag on it. The gentleman having the sale could see that I was eyeing this treasure of a door and said the words that always sing to me..."make an offer". Sooooooooo I offered him a quarter of what he had it priced at and he said...........Okay :) !!! Music to my ears! I couldn't load her fast enough! And I'm loving her color too!




I don't know how old she is, but I love all of her detail!



Don't you just love her???


The best part is....she is a lovely green on one side and white on the other. Which works out perfectly for me and where I am thinking of putting her.



And the glass is still intact.....love that!
I'm working on my living room....changing the decor and trying to complete a couple of projects. This door will be part of these changes. I will share photos once I have completed more of my living room re-do.
Until Later,
Toni ♥

  4. What a great find. You were in the right place at the right time. They sure don't make them like that anymore. Look forward to seeing what you do with it. It looks good just sitting there.

  10. I have a door fetish! I have been banned from buying any more doors! Just sold about 10, but I think I still own about 65! Told you! By the way, that is a great door and I think I would have banished the ban for that!

  11. Toni this is one awesome door!!! I LOVE it! Way to score. I'm like Theresa however. Hubs has banned me from buying any more doors. This one would be worth the lecture though.
