So… I
have this thing about doors… This may sound a bit odd but ever since I was
little I have always looked for the “face” of a house. Believe it or not you
can actually spot a face if you look hard enough; if you think about it, it
only makes sense a house would have a face, because those who inhabit a house
give it life and soul. I have always thought the windows to be eyes and the
door to be the smile. Some houses look happy, friendly, welcoming, and other
houses look sad and unfriendly.
Whenever
I go on vacation somewhere I always make a point to walk around and admire the
local architecture. The architecture usually seems to varies from place to
place. There is an artistry/craftsmanship that goes into designing a door. I
have to admit I’m not sure I would ever want a pink door, but I love it when
you stumble upon a row of houses and they all have different color pastel doors
and every now and then a pink one will make an appearance. Or when in an urban neighborhood
that has been around for years and years and you stumble across an old, stunning
door that has been around forever and could not possibly be recreated in today’s
world.
The doors…the
door plays the key factor in whether a house looks happy or sad, welcoming or
unfriendly. The door is like the first page of a book; it is a first
impression. Needless to say it is important to pick out a door that represents
you and your family, goes with the structure of the house, and delivers the
right message to visitors when they first arrive.

Doors can be a beautiful thing!
DeleteI LOVE colored doors! One of the first things I did when I moved into my house was paint the front door teal green.
ReplyDeleteI love doors that are that color!
DeleteI enjoyed this post. There is so much beauty in something as simple as a door. A door is very common, but the architecture put into it is so extensive!

ReplyDeleteDoors really can make a statement and add a whole other element to a house!
Deleteahhh I am so relieved that someone else shares my door obsession. The bolder the better, in my opinion. :) A glass knob is always an added bonus, too.
