We’ve all agreed that we’d like to see every dull, boring, grey/gray power boxes painted something else and I found several I really liked while walking in downtown Aurora, Illinois with my friend who was willing to patiently wait while I took photos. 🙂 I especially like this first one because the colors are so arresting. Anyone else get a bit of a “Matrix” vibe?

I was loving the Art Deco look of this pair.

And finally here’s another power box for your Thursday enjoyment. Here we are already in December. How did that happen??

Thursday Doors is hosted as always by the Door Keeper in Chief, Dan the Doorman AKA Dan the author. Thanks, Dan.
Great idea to paint the power boxes, turning an eyesore into something of interest. Fab Art Deco doors!
Those doors are quite something.
Absolutely
Those art deco doors are very swish, Janet.
Indeed they are, Jo. 🥰
I also think it’s a great idea to paint the power boxes
They look so much better that way.
Oh yes, it is.
I am a big fan of decorating utility boxes. Great stuff.
Besides looking better, it gives artists a chance to show off their work.

These doors are so amazing. They look like a piece of art.
Making something so common and plain into art is a great idea. I wish more places did it.

A wonderful eclectic collection to start my day.
Happy to help, Frank. I hope it’s a good one.
These are great examples of making these drab, albeit necessary boxes a welcome part of the landscape. We are just starting to see this happen in Hartford. I hope to collect some photos to share in 2023 – yes, how did that happen, Janet?
Great ventures for artists and much nicer to look at. Win-win.
The top one reminds me of being under the sea. I love those colors.
I do too. 🙂
Love the Art Deco ones!
I’d have those at my house. 😉
Like the powerbox art. Love those decorative doors.
Those doors are special.
Definitely.
The pair of doors is just to my taste.
Thanks. I’m glad.

Very nice walkabout finds!
Thanks, Sherry. Sorry for the late reply but I just freed your comment from my spam folder. 🙂 Hope you’re enjoying the weekend.

Yay I’m free! 😊 lol thanks Janet, hope you are as well!
My favorite is the art deco door.
I like that one a lot too, Sherry. Thanks for stopping by.

Love the Art Deco doors. Cool beans
Takes a Bean to know a cool bean, I guess. 😉
I do like when utility boxes are decorated. Definitely, a Matrix vibe in that first one. The art deco doors are impressive!
I thought those doors were quite something as well. Glad I’m not the only one thinking “Matrix” on that first door. 😉

Just bought some batik fabric in those colors. They are pretty vibrant together 🙂
Must be beautiful material.
Have actually researched a little bit to see if I can cover the one at the corner of our yard. A southwest natural looking cover would be nice and then I would put some plants on top so it appears to be a pot. I love the first one.
That would be cool. I love that first one as well and it’s quite different from the ones I’ve seen.
We have lots of painted power boxes, tel boxes, etc. It does make the city look much neater. The middle doors are terrific, Janet!
I like the trend a lot!
I’m addicted!
