Some (most) people would find it strange that when I travel I look for interesting doors and hardware. Thankfully my BFF and I are a lot alike in that regard. While walking the streets of New York City here are a few of the more interesting doors and hardware we found. I have to say I had you, JB @BuildingMoxie , in my mind with each snap.

Very cool! I didn't get to spend much time on the streets of NY, but I hope to head back there soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots from NYC and I find it funny that we all look at things from our own business/life perspectives. You see doors and hardware, I see walls, structural elements, roofs that need repair,siding styles....

ReplyDeleteLori - Maybe we need to meet in NYC for a research project! Thanks for commenting :D
ReplyDeleteTodd - You are so right! Thanks:)
Paul - Thanks so much for stopping by!
Not strange at all to admire doors and hardware on your travels. I do it all the time even while walking about in NYC. Doors and hardware add character to a building, or retail, restaurant, or residence. One of my favorite doors is the massive door at anthropologie near union square! Deceivingly massive but not hard to pull. I also love the detail at the handle which is a bronze curved branch. And let's not forget the beautiful paneled doors of residences on Greenwich village!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeannie - we tried to find the beautiful doors of Greenwich Village but must have walked down the wrong streets. Would love to see a picture of the Anthropologie door & handle. Thanks so much for commenting.
ReplyDeleteThe next time you're in the City, check out the gates on the New York Palace. It's at 51st and Madison and they're the best ironwork in the city.
