Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. Feel free to join in on the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post each week and then sharing it, between Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time), by using the blue link-up button below.
Rural Nova Scotia Leftovers
I’m scraping the bottom of the archive barrel from our Nova Scotia trip last fall, but here are several interesting and as yet unused doors that just didn’t fit into any previous posts:
Please don’t forget to click on this blue button to add the link to your own Thursday Doors post to this week’s list – Hint remember to link to your actual post NOT the homepage to your blog:
Special Note: This week Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is looking for Doors & Drawers. You may want to consider linking there as well and taking advantage of the opportunity to double-dip and expose your door post to many more potential viewers. If nothing else, by visiting Cee’s you’ll get to see door posts from a whole bunch of others you may not have met yet.
If you share your posts on Twitter and Instagram remember to use the #ThursdayDoors hashtag and please do take a few minutes to visit the Thursday Door posts shared by others.
I thank you for looking 🙂

I couldn’t seem to use the link section. Says trial expired? But here is a link to my blog post with my door. If you could add it that would be super.

I picked the blue and purple one as my favourite until I saw the orange and yellow one. Great collection of doors, as usual.
…. and I agree, if more libraries had pubs, I suspect they would be heavily frequented 😉

To me, Norm~ these cannot possibly be the “bottom of the barrel!” I loved them all but the most interesting one was the ragged, worn looking Lobster Shed! I think this reminds me of some of the places around Bearskin Neck, Rockport, Ipswitch and Gloucester. Oh, how I enjoy fresh lobster in a meal! 🙂

Well bottom of the barrel in the sense that they didn’t fit into any other posts. Mmm lobster…now I’m getting hungry again 🙂

Thanks. I’m thinking Library/Pub might have potential as a business venture – I just have to figure out a way to protect the books from spilled drinks 😉

That’s a good point about the spillage – and from the comments I read it seems many readers like this pairing – so there might be something to this!
And my son had the coolest book when he was younger – it was about food during the colonial days and they mentioned how so many folks drank beer – even kids! – because it was cleaner than water back then – and well – it reminded me of how beer is not always about getting sloshed – and some can down a tasty pint and maybe enjoy a book while doing so – hmmm

One of my art friends has been there for a few weeks and showed me stacks of photos – love the atmosphere there and the artsy approach to the buildings including doors. Now the Library Pub is a new one for me -am used to the Barnes and Nobels kind of stores books and coffee:) The red door is a classy one – but I love the others as well:)

The orange and yellow combination is stunning, as is the Victorian, but I like the Library Pub the best. The door looks to be Mission style. I wonder what the interior looks like. We have a Mission style door on our house. It came with a shelf-kit, but I never installed it. Now I fell like I want to. Of course, I also want to turn our kitchen into a pub 🙂
You assembled a pretty good collection, Norm. I’m glad you went back to the barrel for these!

Thanks Dan. Shelves on exterior wooden doors in our climate never made sense to me. Cute to look at but also a spot for snow and ice to accumulate – not good for the wood.
Let me know once you’ve turned your kitchen into a pub Dan – I’ll be down straight away to be one of our first customers 🙂

I might have to give that some thought Norm. Retirement is coming – I might need some extra income. My shelf would be behind a storm door, so I’d be safe. Otherwise, I’m with you, the last thing I need is another thing to clear.
