The weekend is upon us and I’m more than ready to jump into it.
Last weekend I was really domestic, getting caught up on house cleaning chores, doing piles of laundry, and generally doing the things I wasn’t doing while I was busy selling stuff at craft shows. Because I was feeling so domestic I got carried away and started obsessing about the french doors I inherited from an old convent. I want to incorporate those doors into my house and have been trying to think of possibilities.
I got a nice response on the last post about the doors by Nano, and a helpful one too. She thought I could get Ray to do anything I wanted if only I would feed him sardines and cashews and let him wash them down with whiskey. (She would know, Ray is her brother.) But if that didn’t work she suggested a Google image search of “repurposed french doors.”
I took Nano’s advice and started a Pinterest board dedicated solely to The French Door Project. I’ve been having a blast looking at all sorts of repurposed doors and other vintage door projects. I really like this one:
What a great idea! Now I have to go to an architectural salvage shop (only one of my favorite things to do) and pick up a bunch of key plates to make this. Lots of great ideas on Phantastic Phinds.
Alas, this weekend I have to suppress my desires to collect key plates to assemble a light fixture and concentrate on some candle production. I might nudge the chemist in myself and concoct a nice little autumn fragrance of apple cider. We’ll see how that goes.
Until next time, have a lovely weekend!
