Simply Neutrals Tuesday #4: "Neutral" Decay

Who doesn't love to see naturally weathered woods, metals, and just about anything else, all showing the patina of time? Well, I suppose a lot of people do not, but I love to look at old doors, architectural elements, old gates, windows, walls and furniture, and wonder about the history of these amazing pieces. Who walked through those doors and what were their lives like? Who sat on a porch behind its railing and were they out there watching summer turn to fall? Who stood at the gates and did they converse with neighbors while admiring their gardens? Who looked through the windows and what did they see? Who lived behind the walls that are now in such a state of decay, and how did the walls get that way? And who were the families that used the furniture and what stories could they tell?

Here are some photos that I've taken within the past year. Some were taken at antique stores and some around my house. I suppose that the items in these photos were once painted in different colors, but now they just have a neutral patina to them, so I thought that I would share them and join in on Wen's Simple Neutrals Tuesday link party. You can find the fun here.

My thanks to Wen for taking the time to

host this party each week and give us the 

opportunity to share our love of all things

neutral.

Thanks, Wen!!
