I love you the best


Better than all the rest

I love you the best

Better than all the rest

That I meet in the summer

Indian summer

That I meet in the summer

Indian summer

I love you the best

Better than all the rest


Song by Doors



what a nice coincidence! Here are some more Doors! :-D



Grand entry

Door with faux jharokas (window)

Entry way masquerading as a peacock
Ornate door in a soothing shade of green


A door as a door is supposed to be...strong!


And a beautiful entry to a humble abode


And when it comes to doors, you also think about...


Bolts


Locks


and maybe a sentry or two if you like hiding treasures...

This was a glimpse into some of the doors as seen in old palaces and forts in India...more towards North India. In upcoming posts, I will also cover doors from other parts of India :-)

Thanks Patricia! I would actually love to try a DIY with a wooden chest of drawers...maybe with suzani fabric :-)


Glad you liked the intro Robyn...I was in a mood to be a bit cheeky

Hello Gillian! Isn't the lock just fascinating!? :-)

Thats a super idea Amber...I did not think of using these images in a framed series! Thanks!

Yes, 'gorgeous' describes these doors Melissa :-) Glad you liked them!

Great images, wonderful doors, so beautiful and fascinating!!

Bhavna Bhatnagar said...

I agree Tara...how so ever well done, a reproduction does not have the 'feel' or the 'experience' of an original..


Thanks Purple! Good to see you back :-)

Heart be still! These doors are evocative and soulful. I especially love the purple one with the intricate lock/latch.

awesome, awesome, awesome! U r the best bhavna! amazing song amazing doors amazing connect. Loved that lock! and against such an unusual clour too. And those Jaipur doors- one for each season- I could do a study and thesis on each of them separately- what brilliant designers those were- who wrought them with such love.

A Few Thoughts said...

They are beautiful, were they taken in Rajasthan?
