Found this fabulous old door and cleaned it up yesterday. It’s for the pantry … perfect fit. Plus, it was actually made in my little village … as I scraped and sanded the ancient flakes of paint, a faded stamp “Monarch Mills Lockhart SC” appeared, stained with dark ink deep into the wood. So this morning over coffee, the door leaning against the kitchen wall since I don’t have the hardware to hang it yet … and as I was admiring it properly …. and designing architectural forms with some rusty metal finds while the quiche bakes … well, you know … a Sunrise Gate was born. Isn’t it the perfect wayfinding icon for heading due east!
