My Life in a Tiffany Bleu House

I painted Marie's Maison Tiffany Bleu as a reminder that this is the best jewelry box I ever received!

The Twelve Doors of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...well, you know how this song goes. But I thought it would be fun to show you my collection of old salvaged doors that I have acquired this past couple of years. With my ideas, these old doors have been recycled to 12 different projects inside and outside Marie's Maison.



1- These were the very first ones I've acquired and now serves as my headboard




2- I have two pairs of these doors which were found in an old chateau in France. They are now the doors to my closets.




3- These salvaged doors are now used to enter my bathroom


4- These two doors are hanging in an arbor in my garden.




5- This is when I went nuts and literally went on a hunt everyday looking for old mismatched doors. My true love built this version of greenhouse in our garden.






8- This was an old closet door in our home before we renovated. I gave it a couple of coating of chalkboard paint and is now in my kitchen.




9- I found these pair of old doors from Country Roads in Old Town Orange.




10- Couldn't resist picking up these doors, they are my favorite color.




11- More old doors now in my patio. Found this blue Martha Stewart chalkboard paint color at Michael's.




...On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...our latest project which my true love just finished this weekend. This old door converted to an arbor is all made from salvage parts.



I just want to take this time to thank all my followers, readers, fellow bloggers and those special friends out there who have purchased from mon petite boutique either in person, online or thru Etsy. What a fabulous way to meet new friends!


Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noel! Feliz Navidad! Buon Natale!

Oh my goodness I would love to live in your home. It is breathtakingly beautiful and the location...amazing. You have given me some inspiration to try a chalk board paint door...love that. I have an old door and I was wondering what to do with it...hmmm. Will have to give this a try. Thank you again for visiting. I am going to follow you to see what else you have in store! Kristine
