STUNNING Antique Spanish doors

Segovia and the older cities of Spain are full of gorgeous, ornate wooden doors which I would love to be able to pack up and bring back home with me, but with the price of checking bags these days it's just not an option. However, one can acquire such goodies in the states from wonderful companies such as Portera Doors, who lovingly restore antique Spanish doors in California. ...Oh if I was a rich girl...

Does the door above look familiar? Remember the chest from the Castle Alcazar in this post?
The two images below are the chest -

So - over the next couple of weeks I'm going to try and take pictures of all the gorgeous doors around the city so you can compare for yourself!

Segovia and Castle Alcazar

Here are some pictures of the sites I've seen in Segovia so far!

Pictures of the famous castle here, Alcazar, taken by Chris. If it looks familiar it's because people speculate it served as inspiration for Walt Disney world!

The doorway to the master bedroom!


Detail of some castle furniture


The gorgeous castle chapel ceiling.


This chair was beautiful - a simple structure, but the detail was ornate.

At one point the castle was an artillery school - these were some jars on display, I believe they hold materials of some sort.

Some of the original wall in the castle.

The famous aqueduct - it's been immaculately restored - and absolutely no mortar was used in it's construction.

A cultural festival took place this weekend.



I just thought these were cute.

Beautiful spaces - unique furniture and accessories

I don't think I need to say much here. These goodies are from Lombok. Sadly for us Americans it's in the UK, but I can't help myself! I'll leave alone with the beauty for now...






This cracked glaze stole is so pretty


I love Lombok's palettes






Oh how I would love to have this chest


...and this armoire
