The day we went to the quilt show my hubby and I ended up in a salvage warehouse. I came across a whole bunch of these adorable hand painted doors. They were a little big for cupboards and a little small as a door you walk through. Does anybody recognize the language? I figured if I knew what they said I might be able to figure out what they were used for.
Not that I could afford them, just curious.
Here's the upstairs where I saw them. So many things waiting to be recycled into a new home or made into art.
How cool is this? This was displayed at the blacksmith building at the Aurora museum. I'm loving this
book! If you have an opportunity to get it from your library I highly recommend it. In it they show a wonderful wool Tumbling Block quilt that was found stuffed in a Aurora colony descendants couch!

I like the use of the stripe fabric in the center of your stars.
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about the design on the doors. Sure looks like an interesting place to visit, though.
You get to go the coolest places! Those doors would be fun to see. I love the fabrics you are using for your bom quilt!
ReplyDeleteYess! Finally a very nice french door. For as far as I could see, these could have been for a closet to store either toys or clothing. Would end up very nice on a guest room dresser...
ReplyDeleteOf course, storage of your very nice bom's could be a wize decision. 8^}

I love your blocks! That will be an awesome quilt. Where is that salvage warehouse? My BIL, who lives in Prineville might be interested.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks, Lori. I especially like the Jo Morton stripe in the center. I have some of that fabric and might have to "borrow" your idea if you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori,LA DECOUVERTE DE means THE DISCOVERY OF , on the other HUMAIN means human, but something is missing, did you show all the doors? I love your blog, Will V in Paris It looks like Brittanny painting, google on FAYENCE DE QUIMPER, you'll discover more
ReplyDeleteOoh, what fun you must have had!! I absolutely love going through places like you pictured - you never know....
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are looking wonderful.

ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about purchase this Aurora quilter book and since you recommended it, I'll move it to my shopping cart for next purchase. Thanks, Lori.:-)
I LOVE your new blog header picture. Those doors are so interesting - that salvage place looks like it is full of treasures.
