In January I showed another blue door in Braidwood. This one also caught my eye, same blue, similar style. It looked very dilapidated and vacant so I peeped inside and was very surprised to see a fully functioning newspaper in production. Oops!!! I made a quick retreat.
Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. Feel free to join in on the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post each week and then sharing it, between Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time)
Memories are made of this 
ha, ha, what a surprise. the door is nice, pity it is so dilapidated.
Yes certainly needs some TLC
But if it had tlc wouldn’t it be less attractive??? Would to me. Just as well you didn’t post this in my “wanna to go home” phase! I love you finding things I haven’t noted in my familiar places, and photographing them so well.
Yes Braidwood is quite close to where you were. A lovely little village.
I would have been surprised too. I hope they make enough money to give those beautiful doors a little TLC.
Good comment Dan. Lack of profits could be why they remain so weathered looking.
I love the colour on this lovely old weathered door. Thanks for sharing 🙂
So do I Norm.
Nice texture on the doors. Good choice!
Sort of “shabby chic”!!!
I love old wooden doors and these are very pretty! 🙂
I think they would loose their character if they were tidied up.
Love the dilapidation!
I knew you would Sue.
😀😀
Some doors are so intriguing that you just have to look inside.
I know what you mean…
It’s very handsome , but they’ll need to do a little maintenance or they won’t be able to produce anything in the building!
Certainly in need of some TLC
Ha think I would have been very taken back , and took off very quickly. Great Doors though. x
I think they got a surprise to see a face peering in at them hard at work…
So much character in those doors and building, simply beautiful!
There is something very photographically appealing about decay.
I totally agree with you. Have a great day
I imagine that was surprise, Pauline. 🙂 Although I agree that the doors have character as is, they’d also have character if repainted and the paint would surely preserve them better.

Definitely agree about the preservative properties of the paint, but I rather like the “shabby chic” look…
Beautiful flaking patina on an old character door. 🙂
I love that description of this door “flaking patina” sounds lovely.
