Door Deocrating in an Independant Living Facilityt

I promised this post would be a fluffy thing about the various stuff people have on display outside their doors here at the continuum care facility where I live. What a tedious job that turned out to be. After walking the halls in my building and snapping photos, then downloading them to my computer, I cropped the bunch of them but for some crazy reason I can't get the cropped versions to upload to my blog's posting box. So please cut me some slack because my frustration level was getting too high to keep trying so you're getting the uncropped photos. There are reasons why I don't usually post photos in my blog and the main one being I've never really figured out how to get photos off my phone and in my blog without jumping through a ton of hoops. 

 

Now that that's out of the way, one thing I learned with this project is that nearly all of my neighbors decorate their doors. I don't have to walk past anyone's door to get to where I need to go---the elevator, the outside door, the gym and only two doors to get to the trash room---so I was shocked at the level of decor in my building. You'd think, me having twenty years of experience in the floral industry, I'd be one of those with a decked out door, but other than a Christmas wreath I haven't done anything to my door until after the election when I brought out my mini-billboard with its cryptic messages. (See my last post). 

 

We have such bright lights next to our doors it was hard to get a decent photograph. This first group of photos all have the use of a table in common.

 

That's a turtle on the bottom shelf.

A rabbit.

Weird plant cuttings and a scarecrow.

Handmade pottery.

Silk Apple blossoms.

This next group of door decor is in the wreath and door swag category.

Our fashionista lives here.

The last category of door decor would be better called "floor decor".

Dog with straw hair.

Owl with real pumpkins.

Straw Rabbit.

Cast Iron Scottie.

Iron Worm Sculpture.

Hobby Horse from the '50s?

One of doors I walk past to get to the trash room.

At the end of a hallway.

 

And last is the doorway of my across-the-hall neighbor who is said to be the richest guy living here. He's got three houses and several cars and gets a lot of deliveries that sit in front of his door for days on end. These are Wall Street Journals.

The other door I walk past to get to the trash room.

 

My latest mini bill board I put on my door (see below) may have gotten me in trouble with a MAGA guy who has to walk past my door to get anywhere. I happened to be by the elevator when he got off and he said, "We have to talk about what you're putting on your door." And I said, "Oh, no, am I in trouble?" Then I got on the elevator and left before he could say anything thing.  But I'm thinking I need to back off and play nice again. At least for awhile. I've been trolling him with my door messages since the election November 5th. If the tables were turned and I had to walk past a 45/47 cry-fest for losing the election several times a day I wouldn't like it much. Who am I kidding? I'll love it but just the same, I'm going to back off...at least through the holidays.

Until Next Wednesday....
