Hi Everyone.
Here is that lovely vintage door I found at Vintage a shop in Morris re loved into my home.
|
I am not sure what it is with me and doors but this one grabbed my attention as it sat lonely in the corner of the shop. It was screaming I need some love!!!! |
|
This was the first thing to go in her re love. Just a basic old door knob and let me tell you was well attached!! We (meaning Terry) actually had to saw the door knob off to get at the inside to remove this. It had years of rust to keep itself attached to this door!!! |
|
Once we had the old door knob off I was able to attach this old cast iron knob in its place. Much better look for this old girl. |
|
Ok I really had no business bringing this home since wall space in the new place was full. It was like going into a puppy store and not coming out with a puppy feeling when I saw this door. I knew I had to have it. Plus the price was right!!! So with no place to put her I started the search what wall and vignette could be switched up to accommodate this beauty? |
|
Ta da found the perfect spot! Yep, behind this new re loved Habitat cabinet would be a perfect place for a re love door right??!!! |
|
This door has found a new place in my decor. It is hard to see in the pictures but the glass in this door is beveled and gorgeous. |
|
She is a keeper! |
|
I still kept my garden vignettes on top of the cabinet. The lovely door blended right in. |
|
Now this vintage door has a new spot in Junk Chic Cottage II. I love to rescue and re love pieces that have lots of history and charm to them.
Have a great rest of the week and week end. Hugs, Kris |
Perfection!
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate that the old glass was still in it! Those narrow panes are unique. It looks beautiful, Kris! There's always room for another door, and another puppy!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your new door.....the knob you added looks so much better and is so beautiful! The spot you found is just perfect too!!!!!!

Kris, I like it there. You still have the other sweet things near by. Oh my that doorknob made all the difference in the world. I would love to have seen the house this door served. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteOH ich höre dein HERZ klopfen

I always say, "if you love it, you better bring it home...even if you don't know how you'll use it" But I can't imagine you not finding the perfect place to put any of your wonderful finds. I love your 2nd bath reveal also. I can't believe I had two posts to read this morning! I've been out of touch (sketchy internet service), while my hubby was in a veterans hospital to have thyroid resection. Our nearest Veteran's hospital is about 90 miles away, which with traffic = 2-2.5 hours of travel. Fortunately, they have a "lodge" on site to accommodate overnight stays. Often as a spouse I am waitlisted for a bed and share a room with another female vet or spouse, in order to give vet's priority. This stay I had an entire room for myself, while he recuperated. Just home yesterday, with some unpacking to do...but this morning couldn't wait to hit the desktop with a cupa coffee. So glad a visit to your blog was so rewarding for me. You're such an inspiration Kris! Think I will try to tackle a decorating project of my own today.
ReplyDeleteThat door is a real beauty ♥

ReplyDeleteThe door makes a perfect backdrop, Kris! It was meant to come to you!
ReplyDeletePerfect! I never would have been able to leave that gorgeous door behind.
ReplyDeleteI never doubted that you would find the perfect spot and you definitely did.
ReplyDeleteYou have magic fingers and I can't believe what you have done to turn a cookie cutter condo into a cozy home.
What a great find! It looks great behind that piece of furniture. I wouldn't have thought to put it behind something. Sometimes, it's the unexpected finds that are the best.
ReplyDeleteWhat a little beauty, Kris, and a great addition to Cottage II. I thought it didn't have any glass in it and thought it still beautiful, but knowing it does makes it even more so. You were so lucky to have found it..Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteHi Kris, you certainly found the perfect spot for that door! Love it. Milena
ReplyDeleteIt is so worthy of a rescue. I love it in its new spot.
ReplyDeleteOne of the many things I love about living in France, visiting the Brocantes in the summer and finding treasures that I can repurpose and find new uses for. Love this door and very happy to have found your blog
ReplyDeleteHello and thank you for your visit. Do you have a blog. I love to find new blogs especially french ones.
DeleteKris

This is a great idea...I never would have thought of it, and I do love that door!!! I need a trip to Morris!
ReplyDeleteJane
You certainly have the "relove" eye! She's gorgeous in her new home. I adore how you put your "love stamp" on items that are just begging for a new home to be loved in! The fact that you are also a nurse "kind of" flows into your "relove" pieces. How fortunate we all are to have you in our lives to share this love.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
Kathleen
Beautiful like everything else you touch!
