we're all about solutions
K has been repairing some damage and rot on the back door in the kitchen.
Some of the damage occurred as a result of the door hitting the kitchen counter.
See? When the door, at right, opens completely, it can hit the granite on the left.
K has done beautiful work repairing the door and now we must take steps to avoid this circumstance in the future.
He bought a doorstop which could be fitted to the bottom of the sink cabinet.
Then he realized it didn't match the hardware in the kitchen, as seen here.
See? Our door hardware is clearly Oil Rubbed Bronze. Not brass.
Obviously, these things are important to us, although I should mention that the kitchen fixtures are brushed nickel and the door knobs in the rest of the house are old brass.
So, we've had conversations regarding this doorstop, its placement and color.
For now, we've decided to leave the tub of Clorox wipes on the floor, just as it is, just as it has been for months, to prevent the door from hitting the granite.
Those wipes are really very handy.

I am way behind and just caught up with a whole bunch of posts and it is always a roller coaster of emotions. I'll name just one for all, the duct surf post link. Amazing and courageous, if you think this guy has to balance himself AND a strapped paraplegic over him!
That bench is not mine, it's yours and I am so sorry it's been waiting for me as it seems my return to Tuvalu gets smaller and smaller in the tunnel ... please DO enjoy it while admiring those gorgeous hydrangeas (my favourite colour!). I also found out wearing rings on the tip of the finger is trendy, I do that a lot (but it is a little uncomfortable as you constantly think you'll lose it).
I shall keep trying. You don't get rid of me quite so easily
I LOVE YOUR FRONT DOOR. Always have. And I'm excited that it might get a wee makeover.

Also, I was able to buy stops in the oil rubbed finish at a local hardware store. Let me know if you'd like me to pick one up for you. Measure how long it needs to be. I found one place I put one did no good as it needed to be longer than the standard size.
