A Screen Door and Vintage Cottages

[Ellene Meece]

What's a vintage cottage without a screen door?? Right?

I read a quote the other day that said, "Every so often, go where you can hear a wooden screen door slam shut." I believe what they are trying to say is that a destination with a screen door will equal a place of peace and the simple life one finds in a vintage cottage.

Do you have a wooden screen door? How does it add to your vintage decor?

This old vintage screen door may need a little TLC but I love the "as is" charm...

So true! Slamming screen door probably loses its nostalgia after awhile. haha!
