Magnificent door

This store was closed for prayers (but it seemed odd to have a padlock on the door for such a short period of time), which was a pity since it looked quite interesting. But in any case, I thought the front door was spectacular. I’d be happy just to buy that (although we have purchased an old door from Qassim and are having it made into a dining room table right now -- the door surrounded by a frame and then covered with glass).

I'm glad it's a tiny lock and it doesn't detract from the beauty of this ornate door. Your new table sounds very interesting too! V

It is spectacular. The padlock doesn't look sturdy enough to keep it closed. What a great idea to make a table from an old door. V.
