I A-DOOR this

Ok - this has nothing to do with me whatsoever - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - just was sitting here thinking of this scenario - and wondered what you all thought?

Say there were 2 friends that were trying to start a business together - and in doing so - there was a lot of cleaning up involved.
And say one friend noticed that the other friend had a lot of unfinished pieces stacked up everywhere and out of the goodness of her heart she said " I can take a piece home and do it up for you - it would help you and me because I could post about it before returning it "

And say this piece was an antique armoire door that looked a little like this ( ok - exactly like this actually )

And say this friend hemmed and hawed - should it be a fancy schmancy blackboard?
But finally decided to create an old Parisien door.

would it be wrong

for the one friend to call the other friend

and ask

The door is gorgeous... I mean aDOORable!

As for your hypothetical and completely fictional scenario, I think that it would not be wrong at all for the one friend to ask the other friend that question. Nor would it be wrong for the other friend to respond, "Well, since we are such good friends, you can have it for $3.00!" Bwahahahahahaha!

Well, I would consider it perfectly legit for said person to call the friend and ask the cost. You could also choose to hold it ransom! ;-)
It is totally beautiful my friend...absolutely beautiful! I see so many things in your home that I really need/want/covet. Perhaps one hypothetical friend could visit said friend and then remove items upon departure? :)

Goodness what a pretty transformation!! I love the soft blue color and the way the lines have been accented with the gold!

I wish - so wish I had more time to paint all the pieces of furniture I put in my space- I can see in my mind how beautiful they would become with just a little attention. Hopefully those who come in and see the pieces have a bit of imagination but seldom do they seem to see the beauty in the beast!

bee blessed

I think it's appropriate to ask, but be willing to pay the price, no matter what. Even though you are the one that did the work.

Isn't possession 9/10ths of the law? Can you barricade your front door to keep this beautiful door safe? I think it is time to pull out the "how wonderful a friend you are!" plea.

I think it's okay for your friend to ask how much. It wouldn't be okay for your friend to say the piece was lost in a fire and couldn't be returned. The second scenario would be cheaper, though. But, LYING IS WRONG! Cheaper, but wrong. ~ Maureen

It's awesome!! I love how it turned out, and definitely like the door turned up the way you show in the finished photo better. (does that make any sense?? lol) Looks upside down in the before picture.
Glad you got the sale! Dorothy is a great friend.

Now I know that this would NEVER happen in real life, but If it did. I definately would have to ask. After all, it looks like it was made to go there. And really, all she had to do is say "Not for sale". Just remember ( I mean if it ever did happen) to let her know that it was A-door-ned with Love! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Hi! I love what you did with this door. I love your chair in the vignette, too. Do you use chalk paint. What colors did you use & what gold paint did you use? I am bookmarking this page for the day I, too, find such a great door.
