Remember this little door that I found at Madison Bouckville in August?
I finally got around to cleaning off the dirt...while preserving the chippy paint as much as possible...A little bit of turquoise is peeking out from under the old white paint...
I'm loving the color...the blue green...the last of the summer skies and ocean seas...
Turquoise, blue, green...
...calm and peaceful...
Have a restful night!

Love the door with the touch of turquoise. Your pictures are really great. How did you happen to have the Christmas bulbs handy? Just curious! Have a great week, Susie

Oh Laura, the color is heavenly!!! Love the way you described it - perfect! This is a one-of-a-kind piece!
Laura, It is a good thing that I live on the other side of the country or you would be missing that door! I'm loving it just the way it is. owwwww ahhh eeee! Now where are you putting it. I need to know.... just kidding, maybe! Really you have a find there. I love its size too. Sharon
Hi Laura. Nothing more exciting than a bit of turquoise! I was actually photographing some antique fabric today (really old 18th century scrap)...found just the tiniest thread of aqua. So curious to know more, always so many interesting stories behing the objects we find! Trish
My all time favorite color!
So pretty and soothing... love the vintage Christmas ornaments too... Bisous... Julie marie
What a GORGEOUS door!!! Oooo I love it! And, I have those same Christmas ornaments!!

funny....Just started working on a design studio and the entry door has been very weathered for years...it was said take off the door and sand it , i said no its beautiful just the way it looks...i took a stiff brush and swept it clean...it resembles your door...funny that i should run across it tonight...no mistakes..lovely site in many ways..i will be back to visit it often..
love the patina on your door. I collect old chippy, worn, and wonderful. Yours is great. Sandi
Just enough colour to be perfect
Mmm why does this chippy paint that shines through in another color isn't available in cans? (then it wouldn't be that special anymore!) Have a great day!
Naturally distressed objects are beautiful aren't they Laura....if you tried to distress it youself it would never be quite the same.
Turquoise is such a great colour....I wonder who painted it and how long ago ? xxxx
tout en douceur!
j'aime beaucoup Laura.
bonne journée
