First and foremost... the story of the teal door is NOT over with this post. We have some seriously awesome visions of turning him (yes, its a boy door) into an amazing table in the future, we are just in the process of taking carpenter applications. (Actually, we're just hoping one of our friends here in San Diego has some big-kid tools and knowledge of how to actually make a table. Being ladies... we have no idea.)
The Teal Door: One day (last Sunday) Dieter found an old, beat up, teal door in our alley. Being the crafty girl she is, she saw some serious potential in it. That night (yes, we waited until dark because we felt sketchy just taking a giant door in broad daylight) we grabbed the door and threw it in our garage. (backstory: we have a history of stealing oddly large objects and walking them home... see picture where we decided we should walk home from the bars with a giant plumbing tube... which, by the way, should never be used as a pole-vaulting device, but thats another story.)Because we are impatient and wanted to do something with the door NOW, we decided that it would be a great kitchen decoration until it becomes a table. So...
We cleaned it (and made sure there were no gross bugs that we were about to infest our apartment with... we're keeping our fingers crossed nothing with scales or fur crawls out of it)
Fabulous kitchen corner with the door! (We have been informed by Russell, our next door neighbor, that a door in the corner is very French. Or Tuscan. He's not totally sure)
This was the easiest decorating project we've had to-date. Now go take a look in your local alley and see what you find! ( Please bring a friend if your going after dark)
