carriage faux.

so this is what i've got...

a fantabulous lean-to "garage."

It is actually a wood shop for rather talented carpenter. but i call it our gah-rahge. :)

and this is what a garage should look like....at least in my dreams:

night and day difference.

well i love me some carriage doors...

the wood detail, little windows and decorative hardware

adds a bit of charm to an otherwise boring-o basic...

so tell me your thoughts on this idea...

take this blank slate...

 and jazz it up with a lil somethin like this....

a few pieces of wood, some paint and a big pretty handle...
it obviously wouldn't be a functioning pair of doors, but
i think it would be a good look.

Painting the added pieces black would look good with the shutters, don't you think?

 We are currently scraping, caulking, priming and painting our entire exterior
so I think this project could be happening in the near future. woo hoo!

Hope you've had a happy hump day!
