It’s in! There’s nothing like a big gaping hole in the front of your house to motivate project completion. :)
The old french doors moved to the side of the house to replace some rotten ones.
We stained and kept the wood (on the exterior side anyway). Oak isn’t my favorite wood grain, but when you find a door that’s worth a couple thousand dollars and pay only $150.00 for it, the pickiness subsides. :) We took the hanging lantern from inside the house, and hung it over the door. I love the contrast between the metal, wood, and painted siding.
Now all she needs is a little dressing up. I’ll be sure to share the adornments once completed. Have a happy holiday!

ReplyDeleteI think the door looks wonderful and you are right about the price.
ReplyDeleteWhat an entry Rie I just love this door. I still have my new one in the shed but think I will get it out and start the makeover this weekend. Cannot wait to see how you dress it all up.. Sandy xx
ReplyDeleteRie-The door is gorgeous. Lots of old homes had oak doors-it was considered a sign of strength and sturdiness. You did good!! $150?? WOW! The porch already looks beautiful even if you don't do another thing to it! Hugs- Diana
ReplyDeleteThe door is gorgeous. I love it. I really like the stain also. Unreal price for such a beauty. I look forward to seeing it all decorated for Christmas. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of oak myself, but sometimes it is perfect. Your door looks gorgeous with the white siding and blue ceiling.
ReplyDeleteOh..my...I love the door! Usually I like a painted front door but the wood looks great with your house and the light. I don't know what it is about it...but it looks great.
ReplyDeleteStunning! That is the word that comes to mind first. What a fabulous find, the arch is wonderful. Did your husband put it in himself? Great job!!

Your front door looks great. It’s good that you stained it because it improves its quality and gives shine to the surface as well. Its contrasting appeal towards the sidings makes the door unique too. I like it!
ReplyDeleteThat stained door really makes it very welcoming. The color really blends well with the rest of your home. A door color like that is absolutely timeless! By the way, you should try coating it with Valspar paint. Trust me, you'll absolutely love it!
