chippy old door

this photo is off topic, but pretty, i think


this is the wonderful old door with a lovely patina that i found at a garage sale on friday

for now i just placed it leaning on the front of the house...


but tell me honestly - is it right there? or is it too symmetric...too centered...too anything? or not enough something? i'd really appreciate any opinions:)
(edited to add) it's a bit funny - i love to scrounge around and find wonderful old junk, and i have pretty good luck with that - but i'm not so good at the art of display. i'd be thrilled to have someone come into my home and arrange all the things i love! that's why i appreciate feedback from you, my talented and creative blogger friends.


this is only the second season that we've had these endless summer hydrangeas; and they are incredibly lush! just love them...

  5. I think it looks perfect just as it is. Don't you just love the "endless summer" hydrangeas? I know I do. I wanted to get some white ones, but I fiddled around and didn't. Drat!

  9. That old door is priceless. But I would stand it upright on the corner of the house, then you could hang some flowers or other things on it???? Just a thought.
