Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another week of doors. This week I’m doing something a little bit different but I am still showcasing four fabulous doors. I was in Paddington a couple of weeks ago and many of you will know that this is one of my favourite suburbs in Sydney. I used to visit here all the time for its beauty and quaintness, fortunately it also boasts a copious amount of fantastic doors.
As I was walking through I spotted two fantastic doors on a main street. They looked vaguely familiar but I couldn’t remember if I had ever photographed them before. It’s unusual and extremely fortunate if you are able to photograph them without parked cars in front, so I was delighted to catch a quick snap.
It was once I returned home and searched through my archives that I discovered that I had indeed witnessed these doors before and had also photographed them…without any cars in front again!!! I thought today it would be fun to play a little game of spot the difference. The first photo was taken in 2018 and then now again seven years later. I can spot at least eight differences in that timeframe. Let me know if you can spot them and / or any more in the comments section.


What an absolutely amazing building, so much character and fantastic doors and windows!!!
lower right door is whte now and the wires are updated – still looking but how fun to have the two to compare 7 years apart

I counted eight as well 😁

Amazing! Although I totally failed to notice that the whole building had changed colour! So that could be a ninth 🤣

I was actually stuck on 7 but you mentioned you counted 8 so I kept looking until I finally found it lol. Don’t think I will be able to find 9 since 8 took me so long hahaha

Haha I think 8 is a great effort! Thank you for taking part.

Apologies if this is a duplicate comment Wayne. I tried leaving a comment a few moments ago.
Great idea for a quiz! I love it. I can see that the one on the right has white wrought iron balcony which was black in the earlier photo. The electricity connection seems newer in the later photo (the connection to the house seems newer). Great fun. Thanks!

Thank you Suzette! Great finds! Also the house has been repainted, the door is different, shutters have all changed…so many changes.

Yes, a lot of work has been done to them. Nice to see that effort by the homeowners. Great fun share. Thank you.

With all of the changes to the one on the right, I hope their door is still a work in progress 😊 Maggie

Me too. I assumed it was the finished product so it would be really interesting to see if it isn’t.

Great doors, Wayne. And quite the puzzle. I found eight things, mostly all on the right side. It looks like they removed a bunch of stuff when they stripped the paint. It’s fun to see how things change over time.

So true Dan. I found eight also without even realising that the right sided house had also changed colour.

Interesting buildings. One half got painted so looks somewhat different.

Love the buildings look but I wonder what happened to the door on the right, it looks really worn out even though the other door looks the same.

So true Pooja. I’m guessing they repainted and went with a weathered look 🤷🏼♂️
