What is it about French Doors? They seem to scream at you .............'open me up!'
As I walked Ollie down the driveway to the school bus this morning it was freezing but as soon as it warm enough I opened up the back doors!
They dont have fly screens as I think this completely ruins the look but somehow we manage. I am looking forward to many a spring day and summer evening sitting outside at the back table with the doors open! x

Can I assume these photos are of your home Letitia? What a beautiful outlook.
I must admit, one thing I miss about NZ is not having to have flyscreens and be able to fling open the doors and windows and really feel connected to the outdoors. I couldn't do that here, not so much because of the flies but all the other large crawling, flying things including huntsmans (*shudder*).
Hope you're having a lovely week:o)

Yes, Ange it is my house and the graden is slowly getting there despite trying to establish it in drought years so the outlook is getiing better! Luckily Paul sprays for all of the creepy cralwies so it's not too bad. x
French doors make my heart swoon. We have plans to one day bust out our dining room window and replace it with frenchies. Yours are very beautiful...I love that they have solid bottoms. Are they custom?
They are gorgeous! Completely add that wow factor to a room. Just discovered your blog, Im loving it :)
Thanks Simone! Off to check out your blog! Not custom, but took a bit of sourcing to find the style I wanted that wasn't all glass.
Oh stop it! You are teasing me! Your home is stunning! I know what you mean about french doors. Our last place had one set and as you know, I am impatiently waiting for my new house, complete with french doors. Great photos.

Hi Letitia - french doors are my dream! You are so lucky to have so many!!

Hi Teesh,
The blog is looking really great! Lovely photos, your garden is really coming along. Looks like you have a few new things in that room (is that why you turned the table around?)
Chair Up, don't know if it will work over there, but here in the UK, a friend swears by placing chestnuts near windows etc and has worked that into to her room decorations to keep the creepy crawlies at bay :)

You know I would have to say that french doors are probably like the romantic comedy of the home....they make us girls regardless of your style smile with our heart....You must smile every time you open them up....great choice.
Love the french doors..I just wanted to stop and look through them the other evening and see what treasures you had beyond - rude I know but what I could see looked gorgeous. Have a great week.

Your french doors are wonderful Letitia! It is definitely something we will have lots of when we build our dream home! One day!!
Love the photos! Would love to see some piccies of your garden! Here's to some Spring Rain.
What a beautiful place to be...............nice !!! happy evening...hugs from me Ria...
Bec, you will have to come up and have a look inside. A few new pieces in the room, Mel, but have had the table that way for ages! New furniture arriving in the next few days.......will post! x
Wow! Those are so awesome! I love, love your table too. I'm getting ready to redo my table and yours is exactly what I want.
I love french doors too. We are just about to start building and will have four set of french doors with double hung window either side leading onto our back verandah, I can't wait to get in there.
Your house looks lovely.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Letitia, it looks like you have a lovely home. I especially like your outdoor setting as we are looking to get a similar one for our entertaining area.
I love french doors, and the table in your photos is beautiful! I just found your blog and am now following!
What a beautiful outlook through your french doors, so peaceful

I LOVE your style Letitia. We have French Doors too and I agree that they look better without the fly screens but I go berserk if one gets into the house. So many of them here in QLD so the screens stay. I have been thinking of painting our doors white though and you have convinced me that it's the way to go. What to do first?
Great look for an aussie house.
so cool to see that you're from SA, i'm originally a sth east girl!
Oh my god, i love french doors! I'm so jealous! And your outdoors looks devine. Maybe one day I'll get my desires! I'm from WA and only just found your blog. I can see WE have similar taste in some things so I'll be following! Fiona
Those doors are pretty charming. Like windows, they can provide a lot of light during the day. They look beautiful as well, making them very desirable.
