Door and Windows

The back of an old western building tells a tale of time and texture. The two layers of paint reveal a blueberry yogurt palette that is beautiful and mesmerizing.

I always love your house, door and window photographs… You can’t believe but I bought an old window from a junk market and I will decorate it and hang it on a garden wall 🙂 Thanks and Love, nia

Amazing colours… it’s one of the things about moving house and redecorating and finding all the different layers of colour beneath, that little glimpse into a past life.
great photo!

Oh, Mike, I adore these colors! I have an old, worn out and frayed quilt that my Grandma had in her basement. It is a basket weave pattern fashioned with these same two colors plus a raspberry pink! I love the hue of the wood as well. Nice find, Mike!
