This is the entry from my front door to my dining room now.
This was the entry before.
I had this old screen door hanging in my hallway.
I took it down, cut a little off the bottom so it would fit in the dining room opening, and painted it white. To attach, I just screwed the hinge into the wall.
And then, because it perfectly framed the shelf in the background, I had to finally get that decorated.
I hung a painting that had previously been in my bedroom, added a couple of floral plates, and finished with some books and a (I'm not sure what to call it) basket.
And then, of course, the table in front of the door needed to be freshened.
A bucket of dried roses.
A bowl for keys or mail.
And for a summertime feel, I tucked a croquet set under the table.
Placing the balls in a wooden bowl.
And once again, one project turned into three. And that's why there will always be "one more project".

Your screened door is just wonderful, and hanging it in the opening to the dining room is genius. I love all of your vignettes. Very pretty and so creative. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteYes, funny how that happens! One project leads to another leads to another. I like the screen door there. It separates the area, but it also makes me want to come in further and peek around the other side of the screen door to see all your lovelies. I love that windsor chair sitting on your entry table ~ what a great piece. I also love your bird cage and the tea cart under your shelf. Nicely done, Janet! : )
ReplyDeleteWow I am loving your indoor screen door. Who would have thought? It looks wonderful. Your whole post is wonderful! Love it.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Debbie

ReplyDeleteJust dropped on over by way of Marty. OM Goodness! I stood in front of an old dusty wooden screen door in a recent estate sale and just kept thinking to myself... "how could I use this?" I ended up walking away from it and now kick myself. Your idea for use is so creative! Your room looks wonderful. Great look and idea!
ReplyDeleteI loooove how you used that screen door as a room divider! And I love that little green table and the croquet set. Frankly I love it all, and I'm going to look through the rest of your blog now!

Looove your beautiful vintage screen door painted white and think it looks wonderful in it's new home!!! I just got a vintage screen door at a swap meet, I too am painting it white, but wanted to put it on as my pantry door, but it's too large...:( It doesn't have enough frame around it to cut it down as much as I need to...I have another idea where it would look adorable!

ReplyDeleteGod I adore screen doors. I used them all over the place at my shop, but I haven't tried them at home. And I think I have the perfect spot to give it a try. Awesome Post!!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a way with vignettes! Just love how that door hangs 'just so' in the corner. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh Janet, I love it! What a wonderful idea. Everything looks amazing.
