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.

Decorating with an Antique Door

would it be wrong



for the one friend to call the other friend



and ask



How much Dorothy?


Pls keep in mind this is a hypothetical question - nothing whatsoever to do with me
AND if you don't believe me......................there's the door

XOX

Partying with!

Playing with paint

I can't paint any furniture until people pick up this weekend ( completely out of room ) so did this instead



Dorothy had an old kitchen door in the Atelier ( don't you love that word?  for those of you who don't know what it means - it's french for studio - ) and I decided to make a sign to prop up somewhere.  I used as many colors as I could since it's a painting course - here's a few close ups



2 Names
2 Ladies
2 Paintbrushes

Sweet..............................................( as my son would say, lol )
