I have a door! And I cheated yet again. The wood strips weren't perfect width wise and my attempt at ripping one down to fit didn't go so well, so because of the magic yet again of all those screws, I undid my work and simply respaced the boards out abit to fit. I kinda like the gaps. I hope they look intentional...
I laughed when I saw this at a garage sale for $1. and stashed it away... and I laughed as I hung it up today. Anyone else like me, where the project is FAR from completion, however it's urgent to pretty it up right away?!? Naw, I must be the only one that does that. (snicker... I know all of you better than that)
I think this was meant to be a coat hook or something. The doorknob was on it's own board so I just screwed in the whole works.
Bees are WEIRD. For most of the day they buzzed and scolded me for hangin' so near their digs, having me scream and swat and then give up on the siding. My son was on guard and he was to tell me if they started swarming around me as I worked. It got to the point where there was too much damage control, so I left for abit. Upon returning, the sun had moved leaving the building in the shade and the bees were GONE. So that's how I got to work on the door! Whadda trip.
Regardless, there's progress today! I hope to continue with hopes of getting near a finish tomorrow weather permitting. (right.. shade vs no shade LOL)
I'm liking the door very very much. :) We shall see what I do with it tomorrow. A whole new day you know...

See, now isn't this so much better than camping, wow look how creative you have been this weekend, just love the canning jar lid wreath, now that's unique. That's going to be one pretty little wood shed when you are done.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE the door! That wreath is a hoot and just perfect for your shed. As usual, I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
ReplyDeleteThe wreath is so fitting. At the first picture from farther away I thought it was a cat food can wreath!
ReplyDeleteThe fancy door knob is a surprise too
I really like the fancy door knob and the rugged door.
ReplyDeleteThat wreath has got to be one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time!
ReplyDeleteI love it. The entire greenhouse. ALL of it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project. I enjoyed visiting your blog so much.

It's absolutely perfect! You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI get a kick out of your blog title. :-)
Love the canning lid wreath! It has real character. Such an elegant door handle for your rustic shed, a great mix :)
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog and I am so glad I found your blog today (via karla-itsthelittlethings). I am in the process of making an area below our barn building into something funky and comfy for seating/parties. ;) I'm finding so much inspiration on your blog! Thanks! It's nice to "meet" you!
ReplyDeleteThat wreath is just killin' me! I had to get a closer look. Is that jar lids? I can't believe you had the foresight to buy that crazy thing. I love it's quirky-ness.
ReplyDeleteYep, I like to pretty things up right away too. I didn't flinch an eyelash when you stuck that wreath up - made perfect sense to me! It's never too early!! =)
