Underestimate A Frontdoor?

A front door is the focal point in the front yard.  The house & views into windows also.  Before ANYONE comes thru your front door their opinion is influenced.  


Door, hardware, windows are original to this early 20th century home.
.
Paint colors, height of knocker, paneling of door, which side the door opens, wooden grid of sidelights & transom, type of hardware metal, scale of door & windows.  A lot of creativity, work, aesthetics, historical consideration & more is understood in the 'conversation' creating this door.
.
Is your front door a focal point?
.
Is your front door so fabulous future owners, in another century, will decide to keep all of your choices?

  5. Entrance gates were once an important 'statement' for houses large and small. Often they showed great creativity.
