You Never Get a Second Chance

The Big Comeback
(Tria Giovan)

I'm thinking of having the front door painted.  I've always had a stained door so this is a big change for me--and I don't do change very well.  My set up would be similar to the door shown above.  I'll have a glass door with a solid door behind it.  I've thought it would be fun to have a punch of color  in the foyer.  Blue, green, red...humm, I just don't know.

For fun, here are a few pictures of lovely "first impressions".  Enjoy.

No color needed here--just oxygen.  I've gasped it all away!

What an interesting mix.  Traditional, contemporary, coastal, early American.  Anything goes.  Stained door.

Any one want to move in with me?  Looks like there will be plenty of room! (oxygen needed here too!)  Stained door--ugh, I'm so predictable!

Stained door, again! Casual, warm and welcoming.  This is a "take your shoes off" kind of house.

Yes, I know, I'm GSG and this is a green door, but isn't it great!  I'm leaning this way.  That is until I see something like this:


Decisions, decisions.  

Alright blog friends, what kind of door do you see for GSG's future?  I'm all ears.
