I plan on this blog/site being up and running by 2012. This site is dedicated to the older, aged things in life.

The garage door is white, surrounded by white vinyl, it's all very... well, white. </div><div><br /></div><div>To give the garage door a little character I bought black iron hardware to give it a carriage house feel. The hardware is decorative, not functional and only cost about $25 for the most basic 6-piece set.
