It's always fun to repurpose an old door
or window. I have made old windows into mirrors
and bulletin boards and have hung the unique ones
just for decoration.
Two salvaged doors like the one below have become
entrances to our barn and henhouse.
This one, found some time ago, was in
exceptional condition, but at first I wasn't sure
exactly where it was to end up...
then I saw that it would be the perfect replacement
for the solid wood door between the front hall
and laundry room. Both spaces were short on natural
light, so this door is perfect ~ both areas
seem a bit brighter now...

*Perfect*......just like it always was meant to be there.
ReplyDeleteUmmm...awkward request yet again. Can I move in ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot! Now, I just need some extra time to catch up on back posts!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome idea! My husband wants to keep the door between house and laundry closed, but I prefer it open. Maybe this would be a compromise for us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! It looks great! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks terrific Deb! You have an eye for recycling and repurposing things.
ReplyDeleteLove it! It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! Just perfect there! :)
ReplyDeleteI like it! It does seem to open the space up. :)
ReplyDeleteI Love the door, I am looking for one just like that :) Your blog is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have done the same in a house we once lived in. I love being able to see in and let the light shine through. Especially if someone might be entering from the other side....no surprises! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd it encourages me to keep my laundry neat as anyone entering the front door into the foyer can see down this hallway!
ReplyDeleteHope you find what you're looking for--we are lucky to find them now and again at yard sales, for a very reasonable price.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rhonda!
ReplyDeleteThank you Katy--hope all is good with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, glad you stopped by!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rose! Hope your weather has warmed up a bit for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathleen. A lot of the time our laundry room doors are open, but when the machines are running I often like to keep them shut.
ReplyDeleteDianne, thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteI could use a sewing helper :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carolyne!
ReplyDeleteGreat for more natural light! I love the black as it really adds to the whole look... well that and black is my favorite go-to color, hehe. Looks great Deb!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful, I love the black!
