Favourite Things Friday

It's the end of the week so it must be time for Favourite Things Friday over at Quilting In My Pyjamas, with the year older Shay. Happy Birthday Shay!!!!!

This week my favourite is my entrance doors. These doors were on a house my parents bought, but they didn't like them. I put my hand up for them and because I'm such a lovely wonderful, kind, caring and considerate daughter, they gave them to me.

They, the doors not my parents, are from Indonesia, probably Bali and I love them, although right now they need a good clean and oil. I'd better put that on my list of things to do this weekend.



When I designed the extended outdoor area I made sure there was a perfect place for them.








I love the different designs and shapes. There's a great quilting pattern in there too!

  3. I think all you have to do is put your hand up, Shay!
    I love those, Marg! We are in the process of figuring out how to add-on to our house. I love the idea of using reclaimed furniture and wood. I think it's so cool that you've got a piece of history as your entrance!
    love it!!

  5. You are so fortunate to have inherited those beautiful doors, and so clever in the way you have incorporated them into the design of your home, which must be very interesting to see.

  6. They're beautiful and seem perfect for that area. You're right, I was drawn to the quilt-like design. It'd be fun to make a quilt with those as inspiration.

    Happy FTF!

  13. OMG! They didn't want those doors. Can I come and sit outside your parents house and see what else they are chucking out?! Seriously good FTF! (Sorry, I am so late catching up. Things have been a wee bit hectic around here!)
