Tale of Three Doors

Mame,” which door is the front door”? It was a question a delivery service asked me who came to the house. When you stand on the corner of Windsor Avenue and 30th in front of our home, you see three identical red doors.

I wanted to create a front door that was unmistakably the front door. Make the side door a door to the side entrance to the living room, and make the third door go away. The third door went into a room off the living room we use as our TV room and doubles as another guestroom.

We are starting with the side door to the living room by taking the storm door off and removing the metal on lay from the door.

Tony removed the existing trim, then created a spotless and sleek new one. I painted the door and ordered a new roller shade that gave it back a vintage look. We completed it with new time-appropriate hardware.

Deciding we liked how the side door turned out; we started on the front. We must remove what looked like a cage over the entrance and clean up the walkway to the front entrance. Tony took out the above the ground pond when we first moved in. I also cleaned the flowerbeds up and planted some new things. Now that it’s not one hundred degrees out.

I drew the trim, and Tony did a fabulous job creating it. Then onto the paint, hardware, roller shade, and awning. No mistaking it’s the front entrance.

For the third door, we did replace it with a different door style. The other difference is this door dosent open. And it’s framed out like the windows in the rest of the house. So technically, it’s a window now and not a door.

Now on to Christmas! Merry Christmas, Everyone!
