Here’s a guest door that I played around with. A door in Istanbul  Turkey, taken by my cousin on her recents travels, when she thought of me and my doors!  I love the cool marble that sets off the warmth … Continue reading →

Posted on June 10, 2013 by susan sheldon nolen

There was a lot about this door that I fell in love with, the ornate columns flanking the door on both sides, the aged mellow oak, the scroll work of the brass window grills, and that it was a door … Continue reading →

I do like poking my nose into all sorts of things. I had to go up this alleyway and see what the back of those fabulous Boston Brownstones were all about. I found this door and many others as the … Continue reading →

This gallery contains 1 photo.

Rochester has some amazing doors, and funny enough, loads of very crooked doors. This door once led to an amazing Sunday Roast, with potatoes crisped to perfection in goose fat, and rare roast beef on offer. If one could manage … Continue reading →

This door in the alley that leads up to the Cathedral in Rochester Kent is really curved with time. I would dread trying to draft proof it, or replace it with a modern door. Above it, the door frame bears … Continue reading →
