I told you so!... :)
Every time I've moved (and if you know me, you know that's been a LOT!) I always go into this crazy mode of giving EVERYTHING away. I've given away so many things that I wished I hadn't :( My hubby always stands there shaking his head and saying "honey, slow down. I'm thinking you might want to hold on to some of this stuff." Nope. I promise. This is all stuff I won't need, I would always say. Well check out these lovely old french doors.
The hubby and I found them in Carmel, California about 4 years ago. I LOVED them. We bought them not really knowing where we were going to put them. Well about 2 years ago, after we sold the beast, I was sitting in my garage staring at them and wondering what in the world I was going to do with them. Once again I was moving and had never done anything with them. They narrowly escaped me giving them away SEVERAL times. Just a few weekends ago, while cleaning out the garage, I was once again staring helplessly at them. I begged them, PLEEEASE tell me where to put you! I can't put you inside, you're too tall. And then....they answered.
Put me on your back porch, as a little separator between your dining and lounging areas! YAY!! They have found their forever home. Finally. Aren't they beaut??? They hang out there with a pair of old windows we found at a garage sale in Dana Point, CA for $10!! Yeah, that score makes up for what we paid for those stinkin doors!
