I Would Build a House Around These Doors!

I have been knee deep in city salvage shops (Door Store Toronto above) as well as Faffing Around the Countryside with Lorraine stocking the shop   We found some new haunts on the weekend including a place where we were invited into the dusty, creaky and dimly lit attic for a poke around.......  If it sounds like a scary movie, it was far from it.  An attic full of wonderful things, old trim, doosr, painted bits......  We loved the shop, and so we asked the owner if he had anything rougher, dirtier and scrubbier....Hence the invite to the attic.  We bought a huge farm table that is currently having the barn board top sanded down a bit, and the wonderful owner is taking down his barn and is going to GIVE me some of the wood soI can build a new top for my hideous Green Formica Cottage island.  That is why I love what I do.  You meet some wonderful people in the vintage/salvage/farmhouse business.

These doors pictured above stopped me in my tracks.......I would build a house around these doors....and leave them scrubbly and worn like this..

And my Kitchen would be built around this table.....

And then I would have to select a fireplace.....

This blue one would it....

With white Corbels to hold chunky shelves....

Some old ironwork for the garden fence....

And...perhaps these doors leading out into the garden.......

This is what happens to you when you visit The Door Store in Toronto...you start to dream and imagine what you could build with all the old, beautiful BITS...........
