Backdoor friends...

I vaguely remember a saying about backdoor friends being the best kind of friends. I can't remember exactly how it went but thought it was appropriate for today's post.

Here it is - the door that everyone has heard about. There was an ugly interior door hanging here that I just couldn't wait to get rid of. Riff and I came across this vintage french style door at a store in Portland called Rejuvenation. They deal in salvaged items and also have an extensive line of reproductions. We had to go back for the actual hardware, unaware when we purchased the door that you can not buy hardware for these old doors at your local builders supply store. They just don't make them anymore. The last picture is of my new backdoor key. Can you believe it's a skeleton key?? I couldn't wait to get that thing on my keychain. It's the small things that tickle me the most.

You all are welcome to be my backdoor friends. The tea kettle is on....

Oh, I love your door! I wish I lived by you and could stop by your backdoor to say hi! Is that the same Rejeuvanation that sells the cool lighting? I am ordering lighting for my remodel from there! They have very cool school house type lights (if it's the same place). Enjoy your new door

Jackie,
Yes, I'm sure it is the same Rejuvenation. They have a great catalog and another store in Seattle, I think.
Sandy,
What kind of tea would you like today?
Monique,
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your very nice comments.

The tea kettle is whistling everyone-come on in...

I love that door. I love all that glass. And that key is awesome. Really, you don't see many of those any more. Good for you that you replaced the one you hated with something so pretty.

I wish we could come & do the stitch & B. lunchuen. It's the time of year to get that started.
