I am so jealous haha. Your arbor is just gorgeous and the way you dressed her up is almost magical. You and your DR did a fantastic job.
I have a question, was the problem with the last arbor rotting at the bottom where it was in the soil? If that is the case then problem solved.
I love anything old doors and this is a great way to repurpose and add beauty to your already beautiful garden.

I just love how you “designed” the white Asiatic lilies, the white hydrangeas and then partnered them with the white door. White flowers can be a bit tricky to find. Splendid work all around!

Gorgeous! Just make sure that glass doesn’t reflect too much sun, make a micro-climate and burn too delicate of flowers in your hanging basket. You may also have to water more. Still… Well done! Gorgeous enough to share on Garden Gossip… ??

That is really sweet, won’t you repaint each year? Can’t you put some kind of weather proof sealants, to keep it lasting a long time too? What a neat and beautiful job you and your dear hubby did…:)

Ohhh…. thank you, Sue … for writing this article! I am so happy to have another ‘old door arbor’ & right now blooming beautifully! I couldn’t find just ‘white’ Cleome seeds or plants … so planted the ‘mixed’ & they are pretty, too. You covered all the ‘how-to’s’ on the frequently asked questions about building a door arbor. Thanks again for sharing my ‘new’ old door arbor! ~~hugs
