Author Message   Neshane  My Weather Posted on Saturday, July 21, 2007 - 03:08 pm EST :    I noticed some neighbors threw away some old screen doors, thought I'd get a couple of them. Do you have any ideas for decorating them for outdoors??

Looked great! Found the post and pic.

There is a clematis planted that I hope will trail up the fishing lines attached to the door.I dont know if you can see it but I painted little dragonflies, butterflys and bees around the frame.Thats a vinca vine hanging from the middle. I love how it turned out! Jaimie41 - Grove, OK (Extreme N.E.
