Someone loved a dog. The door reminds me of the era where women knit bulky cream-coloured “his and hers’ sweaters with hunting scenes of ducks, always ducks, and dogs.
Yes!! Always ducks and dogs. (:
Knock! Knock!
Happy WW!
Knock! Knock!
Happy-WW-WHO??

I’ve seen doors like this before. Very “retro” I guess?
Retro, yes… I think they belong to a time when people lived in houses long enough that they used their front door to announce who they were or what was important to them. There were swans or horses or the first letter of their last name. Can’t imagine it now…
Charming shot. Great to have a built-in guard dog, especially one that is also so amiable and alert. Also I like the hopeful look of the mailbox, clearly waiting for a letter! And then the lovely leafy scene across the street, where the “door dog” clearly hopes to take a little run, one of these days.
Oh, I love all you see. Especially that mailbox, so eager for a letter its mouth is gaping open. Didn’t even notice that.
That door says, “enter” – nice people live here! Pure comfort.
There is something tasty on the stove for supper!
A mystery door that is somehow very welcoming … perhaps the nature of the breed of dog chosen for the iron work? Good eye as always Carin.
Oddly welcoming. You’re right. Must be the dog. Love these doors. Used to be common when I was growing up.
I love the reflection and the dog on the door! Lovely photo :)
Thanks, Sue! I like that reflection too. Clean windows… (:
It is a welcoming entrance, I agree. I imagine a sweet older couple living there, or a woman on her own, with a beloved dog. I wouldn’t have remembered, without this photo, but I know I have seen such individualized doors. I didn’t realize till I read one of the messages above that in the past people’s doors sometimes bore swans or horses or initials. I’ll be on the lookout for it now on old houses — though I don’t suppose many are around anymore. Where did you spy this one, oh Carin-of-the-eagle-eyes?
Right here, on one of my usual rounds. There’s a wonderful neighbourhood of older houses downtown. Every one of them different, some grand Victorians, others little more than clapboard cottages. I wander about there quite a bit. Diversity makes my heart sing…
You got me curious. What do you think of this vintage decorative screen door accent — of a cowboy chasing off a bobcat! http://dollypythonvintage.com/antique-screen-door-decoration
Hey, good for you. I googled screen doors but only got modern ones. Silly moi. Of course. They’re ‘vintage’ now!
And to answer your question: I love it! (:
Wonder why they don’t make doors like this anymore. I’d like a sweet little skunk on mine. Keep the canvassers, etc., at bay.
