Aren’t these cool door knobs and keyholes?
They belong to these…
I don’t always feel cool to be driving a van, but when I pass free stuff on the side of the road like this, I’m pretty glad I’ve got one. I was just driving along the road on Sunday and saw these doors, book shelf and a shepard’s hook on the side of the road so of course my hoarding Sanford and Son self had to stop and cram it in the back.
I mean look at that patina! Who could pass that up?! I’m really glad my husband wasn’t with me or he would’ve never stopped. Check out the cat. I imagine he’s thinking “what the hell?”
I schlepped them down here to my greenhouse and studio entrance and he’ll never be the wiser… hahaha. I can be a pack mule when I gotta be. I’m thinking I’m going to paint something really cool on the smaller one and use the white one under here just cause I love it. A garden door… everyone needs one of those! Speaking of gardens and flowers…
This is the first year I’ll be doing up my area under the deck. Now that I’ve got my art studio under here (see the windows) I’ve got a nice little sitting area with flowers in pots and pulled out all my greenhouse flowers and plants to this area. It’s a wreck right now, but I’ve got big plans.
I’ve got a swing and table with chairs and I plan to hang the twinkle lights and I’ve got my koi pond under there. It will be a great spot to walk out to take a break from painting and recharge my batteries in nature.
One waterlily got really big this year. I love it, but I wish the algae was easier to control.
I bought this sweet angel statue holding the little bird last year at the end of the season. I just love it, its wings has mirrored mosaics and reflects little flecks of light here and there.
I had company this morning while I lugged everything down there. I didn’t get to plant too much before we had a thunderstorm move in and run me inside. Hopefully, I’ll have it all looking pretty soon and I’ll show you more.
Here’s the storm coming in… enjoy 🙂
I’m so glad you picked them up! I hate to see such beauty thrown away. I do the same. And although my boyfriend rolls his eyes, some days HE brings home treasures that he knows I will love. You can teach an old dog new tricks. Keep working on your hubby, he might change his point of view … Come to the dark side… We have cool treasures!
I keep looking at it and I am glad too. There was a broken drawer that I left there that I keep thinking I should’ve picked up but oh well. It didn’t have a bottom much less anything that went with it like a cabinet! haha But I did like the pulls…hmmm.. I wonder if it’s still there. I am a pack rat for sure. I don’t know if I can teach my old dog new tricks but lucky you!
You’re really lucky to have such a beautiful place to paint! Love the doors…and the statue.
Thank you Mary, I know how fortunate I am and I am grateful everyday. I’m so happy you stopped by my blog, thank you!
I laughed at this post!
You and I are cut from the same cloth!
I should show you my door collection.
I have some smaller ones that I want to hinge together
to make a screen/fence type thing for the garden.
You rock Girlfriend!
♥♥
I would love to see your door collection Lisa! <3
Great find on those doors! I got a kick out of the photo with the cat — didn’t even notice him until you pointed him out. It truly does look like he’s thinking…. what the hell? 🙂
I think so too, Di! I’ve got all kinds of funny shots with my animals… they constantly make me laugh. Glad you got a kick out of that, too.
