No, the doors don't match. Why should they? 
Cobbled together with more rescued bits this greenhouse is instantly charming.
Testament to a woman's growing love, fascination, passion for cacti.
Inside, above, refrigerator shelving + old windows creating a roof.
Attached to the house the greenhouse only needs 3 sides. Above, one side.
Above, the other side. A free greenhouse !! Not your style? Paint it. 
Inside. Aaaaaaaaaaaaah. Something about greenhouses does it for me. Neat, messy, empty, full, being in a greenhouse has always melted my heart. Each one, no matter its condition, a life force. Telling me stories. And the smell. Oh my, the smell of a greenhouse. I would buy the perfumes. .
Shopping at Born Again Antiques, spottedsheep@hotmail.com, 304 East Main Street, Hogansville, GA 30230, 404-422-8504, last week for my garden, Allan Boyer, co-owner, said his wife, BJ Boyer, filled the front window with her cacti during winter. A come-on line if I ever heard one. Within 15 minutes I was walking with BJ, & her newest dog, into her garden. BJ makes new antiques by cobbling together broken antiques. The woman has got an eye. (This is not an ad for them, I am simply passing along a very interesting, fun place. Maybe you can go?)

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

what a fab idea - really fun
Ir's the smell of a greenhouse that takes me way back to trudging through greenhouses with my dad.
Tara you charmed all of Hogansville last week. We loved your visit! Please come back soon. Muffin Maplewood
Oh, I wish I could. Go.
Love that greenhouse made of re-purposed doors. stunning!
Have often dreamed of having a greenhouse - always looked too expensive - never thought of 'rescuing' materials to make one. Just maybe, Tara, you will inspire me to create rather than dream.
You did a very good job!!! I Love it. I have been collecting doors for a few years now, and my husband keeps threatening to throw them away, but I never thought of using them like this! You are a smart girl!!
