this is so intricately made. i’m obsessed!! i think about this everyday

The density of cool doors in Warsaw is not super high, especially outside of the rebuilt Old Town. You definitely have to work to find them, but they are there! Sharing a few of my finds.

Beautiful door I saw at the royal museum in Victoria. It’s near the entrance to the museum but not really on display. I’m sure most people wouldn’t even notice it.

A less beautiful but very typical Lisbon door. It has the small figa knocker common in Portugal and Spain. The "Correio" mail slots, the decorative wrought iron security grill with glazed glass (or maybe a board or something solid), and the heavy build up of paint layers complete the look!

Doors of the late Robert Schuman’s home (one of the main politicians who advocated for what became the European Union later) and of the nearby church where he is buried.

So much beautiful architecture in Alcobaça and so much of it in disrepair...

Three doors from Santorini this week: a weathered turquoise door worn like sea glass, tucked behind a blue railing, the glass-paned entrance of Hotel Kavalari with the sunset caught in its panes, and a white door numbered 87. Cast your vote and let me know which one's your favorite.

Gritar's grimacing foliate masks took door of the week honors with 46% of the vote, comfortably ahead of the ram's head knob (29%) and the fish escutcheon (25%).

This door tells a story. Find it.
Hint: Adenauer.

Selection I captured in the south of France.

Victor Hugo's house in exile

Love the mid-century modern vibes.

Is it still a thing?

......

Whole wall = no obvious weak spot

No weak spot = harder to break through

Harder to break through = safe.

Or

Castle entrance = survived centuries

Survived centuries = probably built properly

Built properly = safe.

Or

Tiny person = door is enormous

Enormous = someone spent a lot of money on it

A lot of money = they probably didn't cheap out on security.
