Old Front Door
So, this is what our porch looked like when we moved in. When we bought the house we said that the peeling green carpet on the stairs had to go–immediately. It seems that for us, immediately is 3 1/2 years. The front door had a lot of character, too much character. Although it must have been beautiful when brand new, its best days were well behind it when we moved in. “Weatherbeaten” is far too kind. Also, energy efficiency? Daylight was visible around each edge of the door. Sometime in the last year the hardware gave out. This was a fun one for making our guests feel like prisoners. No one could leave our house without our say so because only four earthlings knew the trick for opening that door. Entering the house was also a tad embarrassing. By the end, it was necessary to actually turn around and give the door a great mule kick to get it open. This picture doesn’t showcase it well, but on the right hand side there was a pink/red marbled plastic sidelite. High decor.
