Was it a theme or a style? I tried Search, but no luck.

I'm trying to remember what we did. I believe one was orange-colored rooms/decor, and one might have been romance. It was pretty loosey-goosey, but fun.

Is this it? https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5848595/rooms-we-love-rwl-orange-january-2020

That’s it.

I found it using Google. My search terms were “Houzz IdaClaire orange.” Even after I knew the title, I could not find it using Houzz search. I‘m thinking Houzz may not include Conversations in its searches.

Oh that was fun! Maybe something more common? Something like... show your front door or a front door you would like to have? There are endless dreams and possibilities, even cool doors in other parts of the world in places we can’t yet travel. We could include, when possible, doors to fit certain house styles. That would be helpful to many. Or, just add your fav door color.

Learning and eye candy!

Love the idea, JT! How do you feel about starting that out in a new thread? 😀

JT, that sounds like a great idea!

I was just admiring these front doors on a brownstone in NYC.

Or maybe autumn front porch/front door decor?

Ida, I can’t commit to keeping a thread going at this time as I am doing some projects of my own. I will participate with what you all choose though.

Here is my failed attempt last year to emulate the brownstone door aesthetic.

I revised the title of this thread, so maybe more will join in. I love the beautiful doors shared thus far! Share your front door, or a door you would like to have, or just any door that particularly strikes your fancy.

Here's one of my all time favorites.

I love this topic - doors are one of the things I photograph most on vacation. The first one is in Dublin, the second in Oxford and the third is St. Edwards Church in Stow on the Wold, England.

I know that last door in Stow on the Wold! Isn't it just wonderful!

Here is the door to the building where my parents lived when I was a baby. I was so surprised to see it on Instagram one day. Someone posts interesting photos from around Philadelphia and there it was! My parents lived in an apartment over some doctors offices while my father was a resident at a nearby hospital. Now it’s been changed back to a private residence and has a market value of $2.3 million. It was built in 1850.

Did someone say doors?

These are my new doors. Not my dream doors but the hurricane sort with interior reinforcements.

Note the blue painters tape, I’m almost done with coat FIVE. I had a SW color picked but while my husband was in HD he found an almost identical shade In Beh r. I said, get it ...but what ever you do do NOT get the paint with built-in primer, I hate it! Husband heard...get paint with built in primer because its the best thing since sliced bread.

In the end I decided to give it a try, after all it couldn’t possibly be as bad as Valsp r with built-in primer. Wrong. Anyway, at this point I’m just hoping it will stay on, and no, I don’t use it as a replacement for real primer. I actually have nothing against Beh r paint but loathe any paint brands with built-in primer. To the naked eye paint with primer looks a nice consistency. However, the nasty stuff paints out slightly opaque and takes a zillion coats. Grrr, horrible stuff and not hardy.

Done with rant 😠 I do like my color though.

ETA:

I like the color but it needs something over there.

Maybe some house numbers where arrow is. Hmmm. I’ve since thinned out the plant.

If you looked at the pic you are saying ... what?!

Okay, so I am currently crushing on a house I pass a lot in Maine. I grabbed a photo from Google Maps, taken when it had brown grass and was in the midst of bring painted. I tried to make it look something like what it is now. It is a deep gray and has double front doors that are a lovely lime green. Next time I'm up I will try to take a real photo!

Next is the front door of our first house. We hired a color consultant and she suggested a light color so it would not recede. I get the logic but dark doors are very traditional. I paid her for her dumb advice and used her color scheme on all the trim, shutters, etc. A few years later I couldn't stand it and painted the front door an historic Bottle Green Black. ETA: The colorist had chosen a color I can only call "Bandaid" for my front door. Arggh

This is our front door. The door itself is hand carved and fitted together. Goat pot on the left holds red geraniums. Native American sculpture on the left face-planted one too many times because of our canyon winds and now resides in our front foyer. Chile ristra hangs to the right of our door. A very New Mexican custom. Our house itself is all adobe.

Our front door. We need a new welcome mat, I see. It's looking a bit worse for wear.

Some doors I have admired on my walks this summer. Not the doors per se but the feel of the general entry.

GMTA! I thought about this topic last night and how it went poof! Wasn't I the last one who did it? Gotta go find me some doors!

And these are ones I’ve saved on Pinterest. Hmm, I seem to have a thing for red doors, even though I’ve never had one. Our current front door is wood, not painted, and 120 years old. I’ll see if I have a picture somewhere.

Oops, a few more from my walks.

Wow, Daisy, what a beautiful setting!

sueb20, your collection of doors/entryways is inspiring.

ETA: haha, sueb, posting at the same time. Thank you.

I agree Daisy, Sue’s walk by homes are amazing!

OMG, Daisy, I love your lake house! The entry is really creative and the deck divine!

Sue, great pics. Love the yellow and blue. I should take my phone on walks!

Town house in Gibraltar

Sue, where exactly do you walk because I want to go with you! The yellow house with the blue door and white columns screams "Cheerful!" Perfect color combo.

Oh yes, this will do.

Love the trailing vine on white.brick, and the dark door.

I have a thing for doors and windows. Here are a couple of favorites from my Pinterest board full of doors.

Thanks everyone, I take my phone on my walks to track my miles but I have, for whatever reason, felt inspired to take pics along the walks since the spring. I have taken sooo many photos now of houses, flowers, puddles, etc. I guess it’s my pandemic photo diary! The doors in my last post are all in Wickford, RI, which has the prettiest historic houses!

Doors in Dublin

I also love taking photos of doors! I snapped this while visiting the Mabel Dodge Luhan historic home in Taos, New Mexico last year.

Also Dublin.

Dublin had the best doors!

Really, I loved Dublin’s doors and just about everything else.

My rather humble and homely house is getting a front entrance makeover including painting the door!

not quite done yet - railings, new lanterns, porch ceiling to come. new door hardware as well.

I love the color of this door. I also love the modling. The entryway is simple but warm and inviiting.

I used to work for this builder. They worked with some fabulous architects in the Austin area.

I know this one is a bit of a cheat but I always admired this house. It is outside of Austin in what we call the Hill Country.

Wanted to share. You might have to squint to see the door.

Edit to add... if interested here is a link to the architects and more photos of this home.More Photos

Oh, wow -- the grounds of that Hill Country house are stunning!

omg, I love all of these doors.

This is a house near me that i pass all the time. I love the planters flanking the door (and the statue to the left). I wonder if these will be viable come fall.

West Texas motel room. I love stuff like this.

And yes, I'm calling this a door. This picture just makes me ridiculously happy.
