I just happened to have a stack of old doors sitting in my garage so my husband built me a gorgeous little space off of our patio in less than an hour! Here's how my door haven turned out!
Oh, how I love it!!! Within minutes of Nate finishing it, I was out there decorating! :)
I think I need to find some cute vintage gardening tools for this basket.
Rusty horse shoes add a fun touch. My mom told me about turning the horse shoes the other way so the luck doesn't run out, so I'll be changing the way they hang.
I'll share with you soon what I made this cute little star out of. Any guesses?
I absolutely love all the layers of chippy paint on this chair!!!!!
So what do you think of my new outdoor space!?!
I'm linking to the parties listed HERE and to:
I love this! I think you did a fantastic job..so cute. I want to copy this...now just to find the doors:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful idea - you could even put a potting table in there - OMG I just LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteWow...so pickin' cool!!! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! It looks like a great place for photo ops at your next garden party! I wish my junk stash included a pile of old doors.
ReplyDeleteThe star. Hmmmm.....you dismantled your neighbor's storage shed?
Wow Melissa, I love it! That's just what I need to take my furniture pictures in. Nate is so talented. Your a lucky girl. I already have three doors. Just need a couple more. Nice job!Dee from My Painted Stuff.
ReplyDeleteHow nice this is. It reminds me of a time my parents moved into an old farmhouse. There was tons of doors and at the time I wasn't crafting. IN the dump they went. Boy,this makes me wish I had them now. There is so many great uses for them.. Hugs, Cindy
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous ♥
ReplyDeleteYou lucky girl! I love it when hubby helps out. THAT CHAIR is gorgeous. What a neat nook! The horseshoes really pull it all together!
ReplyDeleteGotta love the woman who sees what she wants and then puts it together. Nice little piece of patio "bliss".
ReplyDelete~Bliss~
This is just SO sweet; I love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've pinned that same pic! Your's turned out so pretty and I love how you decorated it. Jockeys hang horseshoes the way you did. I guess I'm repinning, now! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I am going to "like" you over at DIY Project Parade! Penny
ReplyDeleteI have a pile of doors in my garage. Traded a neighbor one of them in exchange for some repair work yesterday, so while we are digging his out, I will have to look for some to do this with. Another neighbor has a pile of them in his basement waiting for me to pick up. Might be able to make a few of these. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou space turned out just adorable. I also pinned this and am on the lookout for some old doors. Now that I've seen your space I am all the more anxious to track some doors down and make one of these cute spaces for next spring.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from It's Overflowing! I love your so very pretty space. I wish I had 4 old doors laying around, I can't even find 1 in my price range! I really like how you decorated it! I'd be tickled if you'd shared this over at Sunday's Best tonight! You need to share this!
ReplyDeleteWow, so cute! Hmmmm.... now where could I put one of those!! :o)
ReplyDeleteTania
The doors and windows are fabulous as are your decorations, esp. the chair. What a great idea. Helpful to have a willing worker to just get it done so you could do the fun part. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteLiz
Love, Love, LOVE it! SO creative.
ReplyDeleteWow, tickled pink you shared with us at Sunday's Best - I really do love this and wish I had a bigger yard so I could have one too!
ReplyDeleteOops, forgot to tell you I'm following you through Linky!

ReplyDeleteI am so jealous that you just had a bunch of old doors hanging around! Lucky, lucky. So many projects to do with old doors, but I love what you picked to do. The horse shoes totally top it off.

ReplyDeleteThis givs me an idea..i always try to make a space that provides functionality..so...im going to do a space like this and hav a bar feel to it..full of nooks/old crates and such below..and maybe ill hang the small childrens chairs on the walls for "storage" items..like extra ice buckets..or...a place to put fruits for the drinks :)to Cud also make this an outdoor potting shed as well..add a cupl benches on the outside of the left/right doors..and whalla..more display..hmm...so much cud be done w/this. Ty for the ideas.

Fabulous...wish I had one!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the way this turned out! I've seen doors made up like this at antique malls, and I'ld love to try it out in my house, but I think the brutal sun where I live would definitely kill the wood within a month! :( So I'll just have to ogle at yours!!! Great job!!! Hope you are having a wonderful day, my friend!
ReplyDeleteXOXO's,
Jessie
Too cute it looks GREAT! But, the country girl in me must share with you. That some might say that your horseshoes are hung upside down. The myth is that your horseshoe needs to be hung in the other direction to keep your luck in. Hung the way they are the luck falls out. If you believe in that kinda thing;-). I am in love with your blog such cool ideas. Thanks for sharing. ~michelle
ReplyDeleteI love this, how do you get the doors to stay up and not blow over ?
ReplyDeleteI love this! Thanks for sharing it. I love daisies so much, so adding the chippy chair just takes it over the top!Great pinning material..
