Displaying posts labeled "Foyer"

This is just a quick post to document one of the many MANY things I need to do something about in my house. It’s the front door. I have to say it’s a pretty nifty looking door, and although the inspector I had in here when I was buying the house said I should replace it with a better door (in terms of being better insulated), I cannot bring myself to do that. You don’t find doors like this at Home Depot.

One thing I have to keep in mind is the fact that this door opens right into the living room. So whatever I do to it will have to work with the space. The little windows in the door are unfortunately not glass but plastic, and yellow. Not sure if I should work with that or replace them/cover them up somehow. I found a very inspirational photo here a while back, and can’t get it out of my head. How freaking cute is this door?!

I’d love to hear your ideas on what I could do with this blast from the past door.

I am a shoes-off-in-my-house kind of person. I don’t know where your shoes have been…if you have a rock stuck in the treads and are going to scratch up my floors, or if you didn’t notice the neighbour’s dog’s little treat he left on the lawn that you managed to step in. If you’re embarassed to ask for shoes to be removed, then why not spell it out for people? (I’m not that anal about it, really, but I thought this was really cheeky).

P.S. My stones and wood garden ties just arrived from Rona. Let the landscaping begin!
