My Key Ring



One of the many interesting things about my new old house are the doors. This house has so many doors. In fact, I just counted and there are 20, unless I mis-counted which is easy to do. Each room can be totally closed off. I love all these old doors and amazingly enough, these old keys still work!

  3. I love old houses. There used to be so much attention paid to details, especially the woodwork. Every thing nowadays is mass produced, including houses.

  4. I love those old keys! New houses don't have the character of an old house, do they?

  6. les vieilles portent avec leurs vieux secrets derrières. Je suis comme toi, j'aime bien ces vieilles serrures, et avec toutes ces clefs tu as l'impression d'être le roi (ou la reine) du monde :o)
    old deal with their old secrets behind. I am like you, I like these old locks, and with all these keys you feel the king (or queen) of the world :o)

  7. Bonjour Tanya !

    A plus tard !

  9. Hee hee EG, I've never counted the doors in any of my houses before but this one has a crazy amount of doors, in fact, I'm pretty sure I under counted,lol.
    My kitchen alone has 4 doors, and you can close that room off. The dining room has 2, which closes the whole room off, same with the living room. I guess to keep the heat and cool in?

  15. Tanya,

    I love that picture of the keys in the door. It reminds me of an Agatha Christie Mystery: "The Body In The Library" >^,,^< Who Lurks Behind That Door?

  16. If each door has three keys, like this one, then that is a lot of keys! Especially if you get them mixed up!!

  19. Lve the sepia tones in this. It's so eveocative of times past when those keys would have first been used.

  20. Our home is much smaller than yours but had the same ability (before we remodeled) to close off each room. Our front door was a skeleton key until last year when we put up a new steel door. I was sad to see the old lock go :(
