It's Still Life

21 Aug: A Thursday Door

red front door, climbing rose, red polka dot boots, house is a blue colour
a large double door that serves as the entrance to a dining room. The doors themselves are painted a soft, pale cream colour, almost white. On each door, decorative rectangular mouldings frame the panels, adding texture and elegance.Above the doors, there is a grand archway, also painted cream. The walls in the room are covered with wallpaper in a warm golden-yellow colour, featuring a subtle damask pattern that adds richness without being overwhelming.
Tours France

Tall ivory doors stand proud and wise,
Guarding secrets with gentle sighs.
Their whispering hinges tell stories old,
While golden walls of sunlight hold.

The wallpaper remembers every spilled secret.


Bushboy (Brian Dodd) shares photos of doors, but not just any doors. Spectacular doors from his journeys. Dan’s Thursday Doors opened the door on this. I love doors of all sorts. I’ve trawled through my photos and found a few to share.

      I love the way French scramble eggs: very soft and loose. Yum. 😋

      A bar with high shelves full of bottles. There— no need to open doors. 😂

    “Their whispering hinges tell stories old” is a lovely line! And the door is gorgeous.
