Montage: 22 Exterior Glass Doors
This very minute I’m in the quad awaiting the annual Maypole dances at my son’s school. It’s gorgeous out —green, flowering, and sunny. When the kids were small, I’d perch on the playground bench equipped with my laptop. These days, it just doesn’t seem worth the effort since conditions are less than ideal. Although we live on the “garden” level, first floor Back Bay, Boston condos aren’t outfitted with much in the way of outdoor space. On a whim, we looked at two houses across the river in Cambridge. One had such a lovely city-like patio and yard, I was tempted.
I’ve pulled together a collection of 22 exterior spaces all accessed by wonderful (mostly) glass exterior doors. There are the obvious sliding doors and French doors, but these are unique wood slat and metal-frame versions. I’ve included plenty of traditionally-hinged doors, though their shape, size, and applications are anything but run-of-the-mill. An accordion door is incredibly appealing, and sadly not so common in the Northeast. (One could do accordion room dividers, however. I’ve seen a few amazing photos of these on Pinterest.) Interiors with sliding barn doors have become hugely popular; I found one outdoor example, included here. The most amazing exterior doors, aside from having a garage door in your living room, which I’ve always thought was cool, are glass pivot doors. I’ve found a number of gorgous examples for you. Every category could easily get its own post—which do you like best?

Just In: Loop Scarves by Taylor Perkins
Boston-based designer Taylor Perkins‘ Loop Scarves are mementos of cities she’s lived in or visited. The designs are based on the geographic coordinates of the city, which are then translated into striped patterns.
Currently Perkins has designed loop scarves for Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York, but you can contact her to inquire about others. The scarves include snaps along each end, and are handmade in the USA from wool and organic cotton.
Taylor Perkins Loop scarves debut during New York Design Week, May 18 & 19 at stopTHINKshop, a pop-up shop for conscious consumerism. stopTHINKshop, 75 East 4th Street, NYC
