Lovely!

Perfect!

So pretty!

Looks like it is original to the house. Great job!

So good! And that door color - love!

We had a guest here the other day who asked "was the house in the family?" and I had to laugh because that was what DH and I called our design theme.

Wonderful, love the door color.

It's so sweet! As is the old dog keeping faithful watch.

What everyone else said. I love old fashioned screen doors, so I love that you have a retro one!

I love it! Where did you find it? I got a new screen door a couple of years ago, along with a new front door. It had to be wood with lots of openings (screened, of course). I specifically wanted it to slam, as opposed to the slow soft-close so my cats don't escape. It is very satisfying to walk out and slam it.

Very nice!

I really like it, and the shade of blue is pretty.

Mine is coming apart at the bottom. I buy the cheap unpainted ones at Lowes, paint, and add hinges. They don't last very long, but they do have "the slam" factor.

Well that just makes me all cheery and sunshine feeling. Good job!

Love it! And the doggie makes it perfect!

And the flip-flops inside the door. That just says “summer”.

Very pretty!

”We had a guest here the other day who asked "was the house in the family?" and I had to laugh because that was what DH and I called our design theme.”

don’t know about your design theme, but your color scheme in the picture could easily have stemmed from the hydrangeas! Lovely.

very pretty! and agree dog makes perfect as do grab handles. very wise.

Ooh! I love the door and your address buoys!

Great looking door...love to hear a screen door bang.

Just perfect!

And your hyds are gorgeous too!

So perfect! I love it!

So pretty. I love how the door color complements the adjacent flowers. I also like how (iirc) you made the steps wider front to back. I always feel unsteady on narrow steps. Looks great!

Looks lovely. And functional. The dog approves.

Ooooh!! Pretty!!! One of my fav colors!

Looks so lovely!!

Well done!

Oh, I have been hoping you would do a reveal. It looks great, I love the color. The lobster buoys look adorable, and the granite steps are soooo much better. I do think you will need to get a recycled lobster trap rope mat for the top step.

This lovely woman from Freeport will make one incorporating the periwinkle. I met her at a farmers market. https://www.etsy.com/shop/WharfWarp

Speaking of fairs, have you and your dh been to the Common Ground Organic Fair yet, it is very cool. I think you would really enjoy it. It’s not a fair with rides.

Thanks, Local, it's all due to you! I really appreciate it. The fair looks super. Not sure if I will make it up that weekend or have the energy to go *all* the way up (we are on the very tip of the Southern coast) but it sounds like a great event! As for recycled lobster trap rope mat ... I have one just inside the door and I have them at three other entrances. I do love them! This mat was custom from Etsy, a silkscreened octopus on coir, color matched to the door and buoys.

Bunny, Local recommended the screendoor company (a guy in a workshop). https://westernmainescreendoors.com/project-gallery/ It's all custom. I had the cross piece raised because I wanted it to fall where you naturally push on the door.

ETA - I have to take a pic of the back of the house, too, if I remember... you guys made some suggestions there too.

But almost as more important as what we did is what our neighbors did. They painted their house... taking it from a barn red to grey and white! You can imagine how happy that made me. It's a lovely home, seen here from our "front" steps. (it is never clear to me which of our entrances is the front; the larger and more formal entrance that faces the ocean or the smaller entry that faces the street)

The door is sooo perfect I can even hear it slapping closed in my "minds ear". There is nothing better to me than the sound of an old porch door closing. I made my contractor not add the soft close hardware on my wood screen door install.

Pretty! Love the color and the black accents, and of course your pup. Is his name Text? ;)

Swoon. Everything turned out perfectly, didn't it? Even the neighbors have coordinated with you! Delightful.

I gotta ask, what’s up with “text”?

Love the doggie peering out at the bottom of the door. Love the door too especially with the big number.

So pretty! Love the color :)

Oh my gosh you must be sooooo happy about the disappearance of the RED.

The door set up is extremely charming. I love the buoy numbers!

Love this door!

Perfect!!

So pretty and summery.

Perfect especially if it closes with that cool screen door sound! Perfect even if it doesn’t.

It's so funny how many of you mention the infamous summer screen door slam sound. DH spent some time adjusting to get just the right "slamminess."

Robo, yes ... I think it was the only red house anywhere around!

Bunny, I was editing the photo to cross out part of the add'y and that accidentally got in there. It was too late to edit out. Our dog's name is Clementine and, like all goldens, she is a vicious watchdog. : )

I took a pic of the rear elevation yesterday. I had the tree in the center

pruned back (not removed) as people suggested, removed the lamp post (we added a cobalt blue enamel gooseneck light over the new door; just realized you can't see it in the photo). We squared off and cleaned up the bed, painted the porch . Hopefully in a year or 2 or 3 the new hydrangea will cover more of the porch elevation. (We have trimmed the ivy but are keeping it.)

odd, it will not post my photo...

Keep trying, please. Really want to see.

It looks fantastic-love the door color. Swoon-worthy indeed! Your neighbor's home looks so different from when we were there, and I like the paint color.
