This flower shop in the Marais features roses and more roses, all beautifully and inventively displayed. And yet the thing I chose to focus on here was this old door. If it were yours, would you paint it or leave it as is? [Linking back to Ruby Tuesday and Our World Tuesday.] |

Paint it. The wood looks weathered raw at the bottom. That can’t be good. However I do love the antiqued look. It goes so well with my living-room rug (“Hey! Wipe your feet before you come in!” ; ). In fact, for others who like the weathered look, there is always something clear in the way of waterproof spar varnish or the like. The lack of a doorknob should be no problem. Since the door is the entrance to the residences in the building the door might be auto close. Keeping it looking as is could be a deterrent to over-curious burglars and the like.
ReplyDeleteAs an American, I can’t help wondering if a disproportional number of customers in the Bistro across the street keep getting tossed out on their ears. You know, getting 86’d.
its looks nice and vintage in this photo, but if it were mine i would have painted it
ReplyDeletehave a great Tuesday
much love...
I would have it restored to prevent further damage, have the old painting removed to have a look at the wood and would start from there.Gorgeous area the Marais.
ReplyDeleteFabulous door!
ReplyDeleteGood question. My first impulse is to leave it, but I agree with chai-and-chardonnay.

ReplyDeleteNo paint but maybe some preservative! So pleased you found this beauty.
ReplyDeleteThis poor love is charming but I'm all for restoring and painting it. And I have a feeling the Feng Shui would be better ... ;)
ReplyDeleteNice focus!
