I've long been fascinated by doors- french, vintage, screened, dutch. Since I was a little girl from the wrong side of the tracks, delivering newspapers to the right side of the tracks. That girl would often wonder what life was like on the other side of those doors.
That little girl who had the audacity to tell her Momma that she was born to belong to a country club.
That little girl who didn't know better than to dream big. That girl grew up and is still dreaming big, still wondering what is behind those doors. Still determined to see for herself. That girl still has a child like wonder every time she throws open a new door expectantly waiting to see what awaits her.
Oh my, what a dreamy dreamy post! I too have a deep affection for doors, they are all over my shoppe and find there way into everything! That first photo of the yellow doors stopped me in my tracks...love the boots in that photo too! Great post!

ReplyDeleteI've always loved that picture of the dutch door! I have it in my inspiration files.....the fun part of blogging is being able to peek inside everyone else's homes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post and what great doors!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have some of the same photos that I cut out a long time ago and held on to. Shouldn't we all belong to a country club?
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow door! Beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteI love that creamy yellow door. So beautiful and sunny!
ReplyDeleteYou write the best posts Jen!! Here's to never giving up dreaming ♥
ReplyDeleteI know about that feeling - I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and always felt that I was bigger than that. Dreams are a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteI still like to walk at night to see the lighted decor in people's homes.
You did NOT tell your mama that! And you wonder where those daughters of your get their spunk.... ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful doors, I'm really thinking of painting the french doors that lead into my studio a fun color like some of those in the pictures. I was always the little girl that liked to dream big too, still do. Thanks for sharing those great photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures you've choosen. Especially like the last two!
ReplyDeleteHi, I came over from Twinkle*Pink. What an inspirational post! And what fabulous doors! Wouldn't it be fun to have a house with all those doors in it?
ReplyDeleteNeat post. I love dutch doors (like they had on the Partridge Family, remember that?)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful door inspiration!! xo
ReplyDeleteI grew up the same way...only I didn't even know about country clubs ;) It is so hard to let dreams go...and new ones seem to take their place.
ReplyDeleteMEEEE TOOO! And guess what one of my favorite holidays aways was (and still is)??? Halloween! So I can peek in!
ReplyDeleteLife is full of many doors and sometimes it feels a little scarey to see what might be on the other side but it is usually a wonderful journey once you go through it. I just discovered your blog, so glad to find you. I am going to go and look around, so far I am liking what I see. kathysue
ReplyDeleteI love that dutch door...I have dreams of having one, and having a milk cow that would come up to the house and poke her head it. Romantic isn't it? Reality would be a lot of poo in places I wouldn't want it....Jen dear...life has a big beautiful door waiting for you...and it's going to open SOON...into a Village of Wonderment. You will live there, finish raising your children there, and live your days out with fabulous haircuts, long walks on tree lined streets, whilst drinking delicious lattes on your way to the corner library.
ReplyDeleteKeep Dreaming, you never know what blessings may lie ahead! :)
ReplyDeleteFrom one daydreamer to another,
Blessings, Stacey
Jen,
ReplyDeleteLove the door post! One of the reasons I love to walk is to look at other people's homes.

My brother has a salvage company and collects and sells old beautiful doors. My barn in Sweden is now filled with hundreds of them!

That looks like a painted version of one of these doors: http://www.woodstarproducts.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_68
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to have at least one Dutch door in the house. I guess not all houses are designed to accept one though huh?
It looks beautiful, the whole place.
