Someone’s Knocking On The Door
February 12th, 2009
The front door can make such a great statement for your home. It is a place where you can inject some personality on the exterior of your home. The front door is where you welcome friends and family and lock to retreat to the security of your nest. You could take the easy route and pick up a mass-produced door at your local home store and blend in with everyone else. Or, you could consider an old door…an antique. It may take extra time to restore it to it’s former grandeur but it will be so worth it! There are many resources out there that collect salvage doors and you can purchase them for a steal. You just have to be willing to put in the work to make them shine again! The front door is the focal point for the exterior of the house don’t you want to stand out from the rest? Here are some pics to inspire from flickr.com.

Hi Tracy, thanks for pointing me to this article. Its so true, i think the exterior of your house is so important…its a sneak peek to what might be inside! Unfortunately i am not keen on my front door, it has stained glass panels in it coloured blue and red….i don’t mind the pattern but the colours are not what i want. Changing the door is not an option…but i wonder if its possible to change the colour of the stain with a glass paint/spray? or even remove it…i don’t think its actual stained glass it seems to be more of a coloured coating!! I will take a picture and post to my blog shortly so you can see what i mean!
Thanks so much for noticing my blog and planning to give a shout out
