A few weeks ago The Tall One took a trip around Europe – driving from Leeds to Venice in a 15 year-old Astra estate, in order to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association (see more here), so the rest of SGH de-camped to Robin Hood’s bay. The weather was amazing, and The Small One and The Littlest One had a great time on the beach, building sandcastles, burying feet in the sand, fishing in the rock pools – until The Littlest One ended up in Whitby A&E (great staff, thank you so much Whitby A&E).
Anyway… we drove home through Forge Valley, where we stopped at a lovely cafe/restaurant (whose name we can’t remember!) with this window.
Nice isn’t it? A bit further on we found this house.
Which started us thinking about exterior architecture. We LOVE door-chat. Or Door Porn. Is that an OK term? What we’re trying to say is that we LOVE looking at other peoples’ front doors. They say a lot about a person… the first impression anyone gets about you is your front door. And there are some really very gorgeous front doors out there.
From the traditional…
To the contemporary….
To the just down-right gorgeous.
This isn’t so much a front door, as it’s the old Coast Guard station at Robin Hoods Bay, but isn’t it gorgeous?
What does the SGH front-door say about us? Eek! Perhaps not a question we want to answer! It says authentic, honest, busy (too busy to paint the porch anyway)…
We replaced our front door (see previous post here) about 2 years ago, and we’re so glad we did. We got the door from an online company – there are some great ones out there. Getting your door online means you can easily browse the different styles to pick up inspiration. Try Todd Doors - they have a range of external doors including solid oak and more contemporary styles. So you can chose a door to reflect your style and personality.
What does your front door say about you? Post it here if you dare!
