I made a great find today! For some time I’ve been looking for some old architectural elements that I can use as photo props. There is an architectural salvage in Portland and every time we drive by it I beg my husband to stop, to no avail, I think he knows better. But I found a lady here in town who has lots of rusty, weathered, pieces which she turns into wonderful pieces which she sells in her shop Madison Moore’s Having collected pieces for years to make over she has found herself overstocked and I scored two gorgeous weathered barn doors. She also gave me tips on how to paint (color) them but keep the weathered look. I’m just so excited to have these and have the opportunity to play with them, and if I get antsy I know where I can get more!

So here are my tattered, weathered, beautiful doors:

And playing around a little to use them as photo props:
