Custom Porch Screen Door

Believe it or not, the weather is still tolerable here in Phoenix.  The 90’s have made their debut, but I don’t mind, I’m still leaving the doors open allowing the air to come in.  This will last until I sweat at my desk then come to realize the good weather is over and it’s time to take on sewing projects indoors!

I wanted a screen door built for our door from the dining room onto the porch.  But, I didn’t want any screen porch door because I don’t like the way it blocks my view of our pretty yard.  I had a special one in mind!  So handyman Dennis came and took down my request.  I basically wanted the door to flip to the other side and stay there until I actually wanted to use it.

Hey, I’m a photographer, I don’t like fuzzy scenery.

This is what it looks like if I were to use it:

And this is the way it is when I don’t want to use it, it’s on the other side (see it on the right) but still looks cute.  Yes I know there’s a cord there hanging from the ceiling and I don’t know what to do with it yet.  I’m not photoshopping it, it’s real life.

Screen door from Home Depot, and Dennis added Pottery Barn handles I snagged on sale for $6 each on both sides of the door.

Isn’t it lovely?

On another note I can’t believe that fern is still alive since I pretty much shoved it into that pot insisting that it had to fit there.

Oh, and I never did figure out how to get that garden rake head off, so I asked Dennis to rip it off.  Here it is, holding some of my garden hand tools next to a very sun-bleached American flag.

Happy porch screen weather – for the next few days anyway!

Diana Elizabeth says the garden is doing well – it’s cute to see the little green peppers growing and starting out small and the tomatoes.
