Lovelies! Are we rested and ready for the week? Negative over here. Today I am talking about one of my absolute favorite features on a home. A dutch door. I love the traditional charm that it brings to any room. It is kind of a classy form of the mullet. Business on the top, party on the bottom. The classy one though. It immediately transports me back to the olden days in a colonial home with horses and cows grazing in the fields. I am not even lying. I can't even imagine growing up in a home that had a dutch door. I am quite certain that I would have thought it was the coolest thing I had ever laid eyes on. Well besides those captain seats in old minivans that would rotate backwards. #hello80sflashback. Let's double dutch.
Are you feeling as Dutch colonial as I am? What an inviting and quaint detail. Also, do not forget my loves, today is the VERY last day to enter the Laurel Dawn Giveaway. If you need art, I suggest you head on over and enter. Loves! XOXO
I would love a Dutch door. and no joke I considered doing this in Sterling's room so he couldn't get out:)
ReplyDeleteI love them but I feel like you have to have an estate home in the country for it. Daydream,don't mind if I do! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling it for sure. Total classic.
ReplyDeleteTo say I love a Dutch door would be an understatement...they are fabulous!! Love all of your inspiration pictures!! XoXO

ReplyDeleteI've wanted a dutch door ever since I saw Funny Farm with Chevy Chase! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteI love them. I also want the horse, Mr. Ed to come to the door and say "HI".
ReplyDeleteLindsay- Monday can go jump off a cliff! All I've been watching is thew Bingo PLayers Cry Just a Little music Video for inspiration on bailing on work- watch it and you will get what I mean :) And yes, I love the dutch door thing. Hope to have one when I buy a home! It's so Southern charm :) Have a great week, doll!

Gorgeous! I'd like to say I'm rested but hello... when I woke up to a freezing cold 43 degrees my bed asked me to never leave. Unfortunately I could not oblige. So sad.

ReplyDeleteVery classic. I love the first example the most! - Brandy
ReplyDeleteWe lived in a little beach back house for eight years and for eight years, I thought of nothing but installing one of these friendly little beauties. It's so much more than just a door. I think it would encourage a whole other way of living, sort of extending the outside in, especially when used at the front of a smaller house or cottage.
ReplyDeleteWe have double dutch doors leading to our porch off the den. It may be the reason I don't want to move... Or, perhaps when we sell the house, I will enter a clause Dutch Doors Go With Seller! Awesome post.

I have a dutch door at my house and I just adore it. My husband wanted to get rid of it.. I was like, "Man, are you crazy??" Needless to say, we still have the cute door. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
