Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another wonderful week of doors. The past few days I have been really hopeful to find some festive doors for the lead up to Christmas and my luck came in at the beginning of the week when I took a walk through Surry Hills in the city. Lots of beautiful doors with festive wreaths! As always, please let me know if you have a favourite this week.

I love them all but I will choose number three as my favourite this week. I absolutely love the shade of green and how the wreath matches beautifully. What do you think?
Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another week of doors. This week I am showcasing a beautiful door and building from Surry Hills that I spotted a few weeks ago. It really caught my eye when I just happened to walk down a certain road. Don’t you just love those unexpected finds?!
Durham Hall: Where Heritage Meets Healthcare
In the heart of Surry Hills stands Durham Hall, a Georgian gem of a building with a quiet kind of power. It was originally built in 1834–1835 for George Hill, a wealthy merchant, magistrate, and influential figure in early Sydney politics, even becoming a city councillor and later the Mayor of Sydney.
After the Hill family sold the property in 1889, Durham Hall went through a series of transformations until eventually being restored in 1983.
Since 1986 it has become the headquarters of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA), consequently blending history with medical leadership.
Inside, pathologists and scientists shape the future of healthcare, diagnosing disease, setting lab standards, and training the experts behind every biopsy and blood test. It is the brain behind the scenes, elegant, essential, and deeply Australian.
Durham Hall doesn’t just house medicine, it holds a significant history and I for one am delighted the building has been reused for such an amazing purpose. There is something deeply satisfying about seeing a heritage space like Durham Hall not just preserved, but repurposed with intent. It isn’t simply bricks and mortar, it’s a living legacy, quietly supporting the health of millions through the work of pathologists and scientists.
Happy Thursday everyone! That can only mean one thing…it’s Thursday doors!!! Haha I only have one door today but it’s a beautiful red door from an area, aptly named Strawberry Hills in the suburb of Surry Hills. Not only is the door red, but so is the light shade and the flower pots. I love it.

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another wonderful week of doors. This week I am still showing some doors that I spotted a few weeks ago in Surry Hills, Sydney. This area is a door haven and I’m sure there must be some friendly competition here or the need to have a door that makes an impression. Again, let me know if you have a favourite this week.

I have to admit that I love ALL these doors and number 4 is a very close winner (the curtain makes it for me), however, number 5 is just something else! What a fantastic building for a police station, I love it. It reminds of something from The Flintstones!
Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another week of wonderful doors. This week I am showcasing some doors that I spotted last weekend when I travelled to the city to meet friends for lunch. These doors are all from a quirky neighbourhood known as Surry Hills. I’m pretty sure I have shown doors from here before but these are from a side of Surry Hills that I don’t frequent often. I was delighted to see so many beautiful homes, many of which had the most amazing and colourful doors.
I’m not sure if it’s just me but the world seems pretty gloomy at the moment and I can’t help but follow what is happening with Trump in America and think about how his decisions are affecting the world as a whole. I’m splashing some colour to you all this week and hopefully put a smile on your face. These doors certainly made me smile!
Let me know of you have a favourite this week.

My favourite this week is number four. This is such an unusual colour for a door, at least for me. I have never seen one quite like this and I feel that it blends really well with the cactus growing beside it. I love the leaves on the floor too, very autumnal feeling, yet I feel like it could be a home in the desert haha.
Happy Thursday everyone and thanks to Dan for suggesting we choose our favourite doors from this year. I fear I have A LOT to choose from so I have opted for a single door that I discovered at the weekend and absolutely LOVED it.
It’s a very festive door, on a street in the centre of Surry Hills, Sydney that surprisingly had many more fantastic doors. We discovered this street whilst trying to find a wine bar to visit and it was absolutely stunning, just off the beaten track and the home to many great, hidden doors.
I love the deep colour of the wood, it looks so rich and warm. The wreath is extremely festive and I love the plants on either side of the door. This whole street was extremely leafy and a true joy to wonder through. Another typical house in this area. I love the amount of plants on display, very calming and inviting.This was the wine bar we were searching for and luckily found. It was lovely to sit on the street and enjoy some wine with friends.
Thanks for checking in and having a look at my doors through 2024. I look forward to seeing all of your favourite doors throughout this year also and catching up with even more doors in 2025.
