Front Door

I couldn't make up my mind on what I wanted to do with the front door.  I have a half moon window at the top of the door and kinda assumed nothing would go well with it.  However, after blogging and seeing what everyone else is doing, I realized that I CAN have something on my front door too!  I felt with that the front door looked un-welcoming without a wreath or some kinda of decor.  Here is what I did.

Yeah, you see that unpainted spot from where the old lock use to be- it drives me CRAZY! Every morning when I leave for work I tell myself "I really need to paint that this weekend." I think this weekend might FINALLY be the weekend.  I purchased paint when I was getting paint for the guest room.  Hope I inspired you to get a little something to make your front door a little more welcoming.  Even if you're not a crafter, go buy something: wreath, sign, hanging basket . . . I think the front door sets the tone for the rest of your house.

Very cute! I love the idea of using a pre-cut wooden letter versus messing around with styrofoam. I'll have to file this away in my projects folder. :)

OK Miss Crafty. Do you have any suggestions on how to store those "extra" photos that you want to look at every once in a while but don't want in your scrap book???

Well, what a startup!! So much excited being able to read through your sweet decor details. You really made the job very adorable. The front door really looks very inviting. Surely would love to leave my thanks before leaving your wonderland. BTW for door and windows replacement or installation particularly in Newmarket are windows and doors Newmarketm probably will be your best home partner.
