(Sorry, the picture is kind of blurry). I LOVED IT and had to have it. It was only $10.00--score!!! My husband did a double -take as he opened the van to help me carry it in, but he says he's sure I will make it work. So, before I do anything with it, I would seriously like my blog friend's opinions. You are all so creative and crafty and prim. My brain has been imagining ideas, but nothing has been "just right" yet. Isn't it great? I think I want to leave it this color. What do you think? How should I...What should I....Where should I...When should I...? Oh, I know, the possibilities are endless. I hope you all have a great weekend. I have 5 different places to be tomorrow. I think I can....I think I can...I think I can... Be Nice to People,
Julie

Oh Julie...you hit the jackpot! $10.00??? How cool is that! I have wanted an old door myself. This summer we will go to the country and garbage pick...lol. I find the greatest treasures.
I like the way it looks now, but I can also see it painted with a base color, then maybe a cream or very light tan on top with a crackle finish. A glass knob and what a beauty it would be. As far as where I would put it? Probable caddy corner in the living, or dining area. A nice prim/country prim hooked rug in front of it would look awesome. :-)
Thank You for stopping by!

10.00? What a great find, I love old doors! I like Kimmie's idea of a crackle finish, it would also look great on a porch or in a garden. My friend Karen recently did something neat with an old door. Here is the link: http://grammie58.blogspot.com/2008/05/more-outside.html
I have no idea why my blog link is giving you trouble...very strange! Hmm...

Julie...I have an award for you at my blog. Come by when you get a chance okay?

What a charming old door, Julie! I can hardly wait to see how you choose to use it. I might make a very nice table top but would be perfect just like it is decorated with a wreath and linen accents. Oh the possibilities are endless!

Oh. . . .!!!! I just love old doors! It's just perfect, even the way it is! I love the old, worn natural coloring!
Can't wait to see what you do with that one. Please keep us all posted!
Cora
It's awesome!!! I love everyone's ideas!!! You could probably hang cute things off the screen too!!
How fun!
Hi Julie, That's a great door! I might suggest if you want to leave it natural, to seal it at least. That would enhance the old wood even more. I envision it against a wall with a big star or twiggy wreath on it - maybe in a corner even. Can't wait to see what you decide to do with it! hugs, Linda
Julie,
I found your blog from a link at Farmhouse Blessings! When I saw your door, I couldn't believe what a deal you got! $10! That's wonderful! I was actually looking for something like that for my husband to build me a potting bench/cabinet. We ended up using a new door and adapting it to look old. Check out my blog...Country Girl At Home and you can see a photo! If you have a place to use something like that with your door...it would look so prim and fabulous!
Have a great weekend!

Hey Julie!! I love your new door!! I just love them myself! I just kick myself that I didn't grab the 3 old doors that were sitting in our shed of our old house when we moved...so I guess I am on the look out for one. I like the color of yours but I also picture it red or cream...A pretty wreath would look beautful on it with the door propped up against the wall or in a corner. I've also seen benches made out of doors and I have a cabinet made out of old doors. But those kind of projects might take more than one door. And it's hard to see your good buy be all cut up...:) Can't wait to see what you do with it!
Your sign is done! And it will be shipped Monday or Tuesday. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Hi Julie
What a bargain. I can't wait to see what you decide to do with it. I have enjoyed reading everyone's ideas, the possibilities are endless and so exciting.
Love
