Just another workshop door in a yesteryear house in the countryside. This building has aged with grace, something which the run of the mill modern workshop will not do. In my opinion. My contribution to Norm’s Thursday Doors.

I’m wondering how many stories are hidden those doors!
For sure the doors have seen times of great change
Interesting how the wood on the building and the door is placed in different direction.
I’ve never thought of this, but from memory I’d say it is pretty common practice in buildings of that era – I recon it’s from around mid 19th century
Fantastic find 🙂
I love old wood, and the contrast in this particular workshop is lovely.
It’s great, isn’t it? Old wooden buildings can have a lot of charm
The photo gives us a really nice sense of country living
Thanks, May. The chase for a country retreat goes on, soon I hope I’ll live in this kind of setting part of the year
Awesome shot! You had me at “workshop” 🙂
If you haven’t already, don’t forget to swing by and add it to the link-up list so others will find it too 🙂
Did you relate to the modern use of ‘workshop’, i.e. a bunch of people sitting around talking a lot and achieving little? This building represented the opposite I suppose 🙂
Judging strictly from the weathering those doors appear to have been re-skinned a looong time ago (If that was indeed a re-skinning and not an original architectural element).
You may be right. But then, if treated right wood lasts more or less forever (well, from the perspective of mortals with limited life spans)
I enjoyed both the photo (and door) and the comments. 🙂 Good luck with your search for the right house.

Thank you. It’s much more difficult to find the right place (that I also can afford) than I thought it would be
