Shut.The.Front.Door

I think the entrance to a home is really important - it can say a lot about the people who live there. Whether it sports a fire-engine red door, a gated courtyard, a shot of bright colour....first impressions count. While we work on our house plans, I'm thinking of giving our existing door a little makeover. It's solid timber, with glass sidelights, but it's <i>really</i> boring and badly in need of a spruce-up. But now, the million-dollar question....what colour to choose? So many colours....and only one front door.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdXa6-4izJ4n29qJa1MW20JrhYvC0enLwLBMRWHMLnHNQgGbd_OPVu3lBRcStCb-T-yTaNB3pDifgVKbKl-znQctwA9SV3eViDr5Hg7zIGEALFqr_XNUzJpZZojpPvh_gcKAlSVo2wbB6n/s1600/106340557dl1266798507+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
