Doors--they are so standardized today, plucked from a bin at Home Depot. Home Depot could be a synonym for homogeneity. Nowadays, once a door starts to show wear, it gets carted off to the dump and then it's back to Home Depot for a new one. These doors belong to an old barn at Mohonk Mountain, in the Shawangunks. They are working doors, at a working farm there.

so funny, I love old doors. I have one really old one, purchased at a yard sale, just leaning against an outside bare wall. I love that old door!
ReplyDeleteI have a few old doors out there in my barn too. I cannot bear to throw them away--I've even upcycled one in my kitchen.
