SkinnyDoors #ThursdayDoors
I may have already shared this first one, but I’m a big, big fan of skinny doors and of brass hardware, so…. I’m not sure where Charlie scrounged this door from; he did a lot of remodeling for people, and carted off the leavings for…

FriendDoors – #Hopkinsville the Last
I’m sorry to say, I’m sad to report — Oops! Bruce Willis break! ANYWAY, this is the last of Sara’s Hopkinsville, Kentucky door pictures. After this, you’ll be stuck with my boring portals until the archaeologists go on another field trip. Saved the best for…
