~FRONT DOOR~
Pretty nice front door we've enjoyed in our old house.
White on the inside and green on the exterior.
Just guessing, but I'm calling this door a Colonial Design.
If you can call it this. Forgive me.
I'm not really up on the legal terms of interior decorating.
Know what I mean.
The door is aging.
We bought a Victorian Door
for $60 that we came across in Council Grove, Kansas
that's close to the design on our present Dining room door.
Wanted the two front doors on this house to look similar,
not one a Victorian and one a Colonial Revival.
Wanted both doors to be similar.
Our front door was switched.
The NEW old door will need painted on the interior
and exterior side stripped, stained and varnished.
Waiting for warmer temps to continue.
For now.......the door is repaired,
a door knob attached and door installed!
The door is in place.
Wonderful.
Praise the Lord and thank you, Honey.
Take a look at our adventure.
Previous Colonial Revival Door On Front of House
The two front doors on Home Haven
when we bought our old stone house in 2006.
The two front doors on the house now.
Not identical, but close enough and loving it.
White door will be stripped, stained and varnished
to look as close to the oak colored one.
The door rested in the garage for close to 6 years.....needed some tender loving care. Not much room to work in Garage, so Hubby (bless his heart) made it happen in our torn up KITCHEN and the front porch.
Back to business.
He has returned to working on the remodeling the Kitchen.
Take a look at some of the detailed work Hubby did.
Thanx for visiting today.
Who's knocking at your door these days?
Bless you and may you have a pleasant day!

Wow.... that was a lot of work! But it was enjoyable at the same time. Seeing it coming together and being in place is a treat. When we have warm dry weather it will be refinished to match the existing door.
Thanks for taking the pictures sweetheart.

I love those doors! I particularly love those door knobs! Thanks for sharing your wonderful find.

What a wonderful old (new) door! I love all the carvings and panels. And the brass hardware and door knob! Perfect.
Like your new blog name. What does w/d stand for? With Deanna?
That looks like a large treasure of a door! Lots of work to get it ready to hang, too. It looks similar to the other one with all the details that look like carvings. Special.♥♫
Miss D, both are beautiful doors and really like the pale green.
Hi D! Oh, I love your gorgeous door and so great that your hubby could fix it all up. The hardware and doorknob is so pretty! Your two doors do look similar. Love them. Hope you're doing well!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Artist, You are amazing. Soon the Kitchen will be completed and I can brag with photos and the door will be revamped and beautiful! Cheering you on. It shall be done. Can't wait. God's favor.
Thanx every body for the sweet comments. So appreciate you.
Joyce, w/d does stand for with d. I have a long ways to go to get a dolled up blog. Not sure I will be able to achieve what I have envisioned in my mind. Hopin'!
Thanx for commenting. Enjoy hearing from you.

Hi Deanna,
The doors are beautiful and what a lot of work your husband has so cleverly put into getting them like that.
I like your new blog name too.
Happy weekend
hugs
