As I was making my way through this month’s Lucky Magazine, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this photo. It wasn’t necessarily the clothing that caught my eye (though I do love that clutch), it was the door! Lucite handle, ribbon trim detailed with a nail head in each corner – perfection! Here are a few of some of my favorite glamorous doors…

Wow the doors give a new concept to closure, they give me great ideas, wish I could see the details of the first door your description is delicious…
Thanks for sharing

The door from Lucky Magazine would be so easy to duplicate, especially with a cheap hollow-core door. Some paint, a few nail heads, ribbon and glue!

I tagged the exact same page from Lucky for the exact same reason! LOVE those doors…I had a quick daydream of having those to the entrance of my future dressing room (emphasis on “future” and emphasis on “room”!). If I had that cool outfit and looked like a model, that would be nice too!
