When Is A Door Not a Door?

 

So you all know we have been busy in the yard.  I love to repurpose junk "found objects'.

(John says it isn't fair when you have to hunt them down to be called 'FOUND").

 

Last summer I painted two old doors that were part of our house since it was built back in the 50's and added planter boxes and loved them.

 

This year I wanted to add to my 'door' collection and whet my artist's soul as well as camouflage the car lot that went in next door after 40 years of garden and families there. (sighing big time).

 

The fence and landscaping will help but the arbor vitae will take a few years to grow together.

 

 I found these doors when I put out an ad for old doors on Freecycle.org.  We thought we were getting three but came home with four....SCORE.  Of course they were brown wood and grungy so I painted them with Krylon enamel.....like the outdoor furniture in the previous post.

 

 

                    

                                  I bought a variety of plants and pots and made baskets to hang

 

 

 

  
                         Went through more junk found objects and started attaching those on the doors.

                    I had fun picking out my own flower combinations as well as the junk stuff.

 

      This was part of a railing we had no use for so I had John turn it sideways and added pots.

 

One just never knows what you will find in the junk pile!

 

 

 

For some reason we have a large assortment of horse/oxen yoke harnesses but we love them.

 

 

 

I love the bright colors and the flowers.  John was skeptical at first but always loves the end product.

He is so sweet when I say   "Hey I have an idea........." He might roll his eyes when I am not looking but he is always my 'go to guy'.

 

Here is to 'bright ideas' in your neck of the woods.
