Unique Shed Doors

Life in Christian County, Kentucky...



Odd shed doors

Touches of human creativity and personality can be seen in odd places. Consider these shed doors. Given four small windows and two large doors, the builder could have done the typical garage door window arrangement. However, he chose to set them diagonally at opposite angles.

Apparently he decided to give this humble building a little pizzazz. And it worked, don't you think?

If I hadn't read your compliment, I would have said that it just looks like the person was a bad carpenter without a level.

The builder must have thought the angle of the windows looked good, and I agree it's unique. You don't often see rectangles turned like that. It takes some nerve to do it!

The windows make you take a second look at the shed that you'd never take otherwise.

So I think they do give the building some visual interest, even though it's an example of what I call "folk architecture."

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
