Shut the front door! We had a new front door installed on Monday.

Our old door was a red painted wooden door. We had it for 28 years but it kept fading, had sap bubbles on a wood panel and the handle, lock and hammered brass kick plate were very weathered. It had a smaller leaded glass window that I did like.

I was debating between a blue or black fiberglass door with more glass this time. It was a tough decision but I read that a house with a black door sells for $6,000 more...not that we have plans to sell at the moment.

I think I would like to add another brass kick plate and planted pots or something at the door. The window in the door is a textured glass called chord or reed for a bit of privacy though the sidelights are clear glass.

Remembering 9/11 today.

That's a beautiful door - and how weird about the colour of the door affecting the house price - fascinating... :)

Elegant and lovely… hard to believe about a black door on a home making it sell for more… who knew?

Very striking! I really like the textured glass of the window in the door! And with the windows on the side as well, you will get so much natural light, which I love! And yes, the black looks great! Fav

❤️ The door looks great. Skip the brass kick plate. It looks sleek and modern without it. Brass makes it look more traditional
