No Fixed Plans

  My contribution to this week's Pull Up a Seat Challenge comes from Milwaukee's Pabst Mansion, where they have a bounty of gorgeous 19th century chairs.

  Thursday Doors is a weekly blogging challenge allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. Feel free to join in on the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post each week and then sharing it, between Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American Eastern Time). To get to the hub where you'll find links to dozens of doors, click here . I saw these doors at the Pabst Mansion while taking a tour last week. It's an elegant retirement home for the Pabst family of beer fame. The mansion is in Milwuakee, Wisconsin.
