So yesterday I was driving to my mothers when I passed a place that had some doors outside for free. I thought about stopping for a minute, but just kept driving. I just thought girl you are turning your house into Sanford and Sons. Later that evening I suddenly thought, "you must have that door!" I packed up the kids and frantically got in the Volkswagen. I was actually thinking I could fit that door in my car, if it was even still there. My older son Adam was like, "there is a 1% chance it'll still be there." Well when I made the turn in my car by where I saw it I noticed it was still there. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Oh did I mention it was super heavy, had some nails in it, and I drive a Volkswagen sedan. I did make an attempt to get it in, and it wasn't happening. I of course called Tom who was at work, and wasn't getting out of work for another 45 minutes. I decided to sit there and wait for him, I also decided I wanted an old window they had there too. Tom got out of work early and threw it in his SUV without a negative thing to say, in fact he was like cool I like that door, and window.
I have decided I want to hang it here. This is the stairwell going down stairs. It is so dark and needs some lighting up.
Here is where I spotted the door, who would have thought.
I found the one I wanted and promptly put it near my car till Tom got there.
Here it is getting painted. I am going to make the squares magnet with chalkboard black paint. We are going to hang it on a diagonal going down the stairs. I think it'll be cool. I have to find an old door knob for it. Stay tuned for the reveal.
What a lucky find! I would love to be as blessed and then use it as a headboard in my sons room.
ReplyDeleteExcellent retrieve and idea! I would have a couple of ideas if a door like that came my way. I recently saw a chippy white door remade into a kitchen hutch, very striking.
