Welcome to Thursday Doors! This is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world. If you’d like to join us, simply create your own Thursday Doors post each (or any) week and then share a link to your post in the comments below, anytime between 12:01 am Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time). If you like, you can add our badge to your post.
The badge contest ended in a tie, so I will be alternating the badge I use here, but you are welcome to use either of the winning badges.
For many reasons, not the least of which is the ongoing launch tour of the book Willow Willers and I released last week, my mind is still anchored in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. That book, like all my books to date, is set in Pittsburgh. But, today’s doors have nothing to do with the book. In fact, these doors could be found anywhere.
One of the stops we made while in the Strip District (an old warehouse district gradually being converted to retail and residential properties) was at Bass and Bennett, a retail store specializing in interesting furniture and home decor items sourced from around the world. They claim to be preserving culture and traditional artisanship. Since they encouraged photography in the store, and the store was chockablock full of interesting doors, I’ll leave it at that.
I hope you enjoy the doors I selected, and I hope you have a chance to visit some of the doors contributed by others. Of course, below my doors is a bit of unabashed marketing around the new book, including the short video trailer designed to pique your interest. And, if you’re interested in the latest launch post, Willow and I were guests of author and blogger Marjorie Mallon yesterday.
