There are about a million things I should be worrying about right now as it pertains to the reno. Instead, I continue to be fixated on a number of seemingly Irrelevant Things That Can Be Figured Out Later. Like a new front door. It’s all I’ve been thinking about lately. I want a lovely new front door, one that (a) lets in some light and (b) gives us the right amount of privacy (for me), and (c) says HELLO HOW ARE YOU.
Our architect gave us a glossy catalogue of amazing custom doors, but I think that we can find something we like a lot cheaper. So now I’m on the hunt.
This search reminds me yet again of a very important fact: if you sell or manufacture anything that someone might like to shop around (windows, doors, floor treatments, garden sheds) you MUST have something to show on your website. Holy lack of photos batman.
Our home is east-facing, and I would really like to take advantage of morning sunshine if I can. I love this door, a LOT. The house number just seals the deal for me. And then there’s this door, um, one that I scoped out in our own neighbourhood and really like the look of too… although I wouldn’t have those little windows running down the side. (Forgive the grainy surveillance-type shot there. I feel mildly paranoid when snapping photos of other people’s homes. I mean, my god, what if someone catches me doing it!?)
Anyway. Yes. Doors. I think they’re one of the most important design features of a home. You can tell a lot about someone by their front door. Don’t you think?
