a few of my favorite things..

this last summer we built a garage with an apartment above it. and in a few years or so, we'll build a house and attach it to the garage and rent out the apartment. i hope that makes sense. one of these days i'll take a picture of the outside and post it, because people always wonder what it looks like and how it works. so any way, i love vintage things and old houses. so when we built our house i wanted to give it a little character. so we bought some old doors, took them to a door company to hang them, and then we stripped, sanded and painted. all of my interior doors are old. these are a couple of them!! don't worry, the door on the left has it's original knobs, they just aren't on yet! these doors go into the bedrooms.
this is my favorite one!! my closet door..
this hangs above my stairs! i bought it white, and just sanded the flowers to show the original colors.
giving you a better look..
